So I had my first day back to work today. I've been off for 6 weeks, was sleeved Sept 24. The day went well, and I was happy to go back. There have been lots of little changes in my work place, and I had to give myself more time to do tasks, but think I will find my rhythm soon. I work as an RN in a nursing home. Today was only an 8 hour shift. I go back into my rotation in Monday for two 12 hour days. I'm a little nervous about those longer shifts.

Anyone else work extended shiftsband shift work? How did you find them post-op?

I went back to work after 5 days... I am a teacher.. However I get to work

At 6;30 and stay until 4 or 4:30... I was tired but I did it... Rested when I got home . Thank goodness I have an amazing husband who took care of me!

6 weeks off? Your so lucky!

Wellll I was told 4 weeks...but I figured it was going to be so close to Halloween, which is a big deal for me, that I wanted to stay with my parents on the wedt coast just a little longer. Lol

I'll be returning to work this coming Wednesday.

I work Wednesday-Saturday; wednesdays are about an 8 to 9 hour shift, and the other three days I work ten hours. I have a sitting job (I'm a weigh master at a Cattle company), but it's been VERY busy there lately, so I'm hoping I won't have too much discomfort when I have to lean forward to give each driver his/her weight ticket to sign.

Good luck Crystal88! Let me know how those 10 hour shifts go...it will help me plan for my 12's.

I had my surgery last Thursday 10/30 and went back to work on Monday. I work in an office, so no strenuous lifting or anything. I spend the majority of my time on the phone with physicians and RN's. I took a road trip yesterday to take a doctor for an interview at a clinic and had to drive 1 1/2 hours each way. I've been feeling great though, not a problem at all.

OMG! @@mariomomi I was sleeved on the 30th too! I can't believe you are back at work! you're a trooper!

Headed back to work Monday - been off for two weeks. Kinda concerned as it's still a chore to shower. Will let you all know how it goes.
