Hey there! Congratulations!!! I will most likely be off for six weeks. I work in health care and do a lot of lifting and tugging/pulling. My dr said if I had a desk job I could go back in about three. I'm not supposed to drive for the first two weeks. Let us know when your date is....

Pebbles, Congrats!! My surgery is on a Monday and I'm taking 2 weeks off. I will work from home the third week, except for that Wed. when I have to go to the office. I hope I have my new routine down by then.

My name is crystal and I've just started my journey . I have completed info session nutrition class first dr appointment now on sept 26 I have to meet with the nurse meet the nutritionist and social worker . I know one person who has had the gastric bypass and does not regret it one bit. I'm a mom of 4 teens and 11 year old daughter ooh yes and our one year old grandson. I'm nervous but I need this so I can live and be healthy so that I can see my grand babies and grow old with my husband. My husband says I love you the way you are no matter what. He knows due to dome health issues I need to do this journey for me.

Its wonderful having a great support system. I know thats what my husbamd says but ultimately this decision is our own and we are trying to better ourselves. Congratulations and the best of luck!

Hey September members, I was having trouble deciding how much time I should take off work. I work at Walmart as a cashier do u guys think 3 or 4 weeks would be enough?

Hey Ramona, I would think being on your feet 3-6 weeks would be anticipated but see how it goes some feel great and are more able to get back to work. Can't wait til the 25 th to get this party started!
