I am just wonder how long after being sleeved most people went back to work?

I'm wondering the same thing. Hope someone will chime in and give us a answer. Financially I cant afford much more time than 2 weeks. I just pray my body will agree with my bank account!

I am just wonder how long after being sleeved most people went back to work?

I went back 9 days later. Too soon. It's been rough and really slowed my recovery.

I'm scheduled to go back this coming Monday (my surgery was 12/30). I think I can do it, but am worried about being worn out at the end of the day.

I will be going back Monday, after 13 days. My job is a combination of sitting, walking, and standing (no lifting).

I hope it goes well - I told them I will only work 8 hours/day for the first two wks (vs. the usual 12 or more). I'm going to try hard to stick to that.

I took 2 weeks off. Was just right for me. Everyone is different though.

I do have a desk job but am running around the office a lot!

Was back to working 50-60 hour weeks right away:(

Probably could have gone back after 10-12 days but glad I had the full 2 weeks.

Was taking afternoon naps right up until I went back.

Good luck with your journey!

My surgery was December 26th. I worked a half week this week. I could have probably worked all week and not thought twice about it. I go back full time on Monday (13th). However, I am not allowed to travel for my job until the first week of February.

Went back 1/2 days after 1 week and back to full time at two weeks. I'm a vet tech, so pretty active job. I felt fine, but had to limit myself because I wasn't supposed to lift more than 20 pounds. (I only cheated once with a 50 pound dog 3 days before my weight limitation was up). I felt so good I would truly have gone crazy if I had to sit around at home any longer.

I went to work the same day I discharged from the hospital. I was able to work 3rd shift the first 2 days and resumed my regular 2nd shift at 5 days post op. If I could have, I would have taken 2 weeks off but I couldn't. Luckily everything turned out good, great recovery. I was very exhausted though. I was sleeved on 12/12/13 and discharged and back to work on 12/14/13.

I took 4 weeks off. The doctors stressed that I shouldn't rush back. I had the PS time, so why not? Not only am I focusing on healing physically, but I'm growing with my sleeve emotionally and mentally. I'm also adjusting to eating and drinking differently.

Wow. Your amazing! I pray my body responds like yours & I have a fast recovery. Your surgery obviously went very well. Kudos to your MD! Keep rocking that Sleeve! Best wishes
