How long did it take to return back to work? Dr. Alexander here in Dallas said I could return to work in a week.. I work in the office setting

Everybody is different. I went back after two weeks. One week seems a bit tight.

Thank you! I am excited, but scared as well. However the surgeon has been doing this for over 30 years.

You will do great. Grey hair in a surgeon is awesome.

Had my surgery, age 71, on a Thursday home on Friday and was ready to return to work on Monday. Actually took a week off to be on the safe side. But on Monday took dog to Vet and after that went grocery shopping. For me the faster I return to work (office work sitting all day) I can't do as much damage. I feel I'll do more damage at home finding things I shouldn't be doing.

I’m 53, had my sleeve done on 10/5. Mine hurts if I swallow to much at one time...tiny sips only and Water level seems to not go down. Keep going, your pouch will get used to it and stop hurting!

I was 51 when I had my RNY, and although I have had some significant complications (marginal ulcer & marked hypotension,) I still think it is the best of all my 14 surgeries. (Yes, 14-cosmetic, orthopedic, female, etc.) I just wish I had my RNY 25 years ago! All that wasted time being unhappy about my body!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
