I will be meeting with my patient coordinator on Thursday to (hopefully) schedule surgery in the next few months (LSG). I'm so excited and relieved to have found such a great support as BP.

I am, however, also in the middle of a job hunt. I have a steady job making 30k/yr and I love the work, but have just finished grad school and am heading into management, enjoy the job even more (my internship was incredible) and triple my salary - this means that from Feb-Oct I could (and likely will) be having fits and spurts of interviews. My question is this:

How long post-op can I reasonably expect to go into a job interview and knock their pants off (assuming mine don't fall off from weight loss)? I know I'm supposed to be able to resume moderate exercise in a few days and be back to full activity by two weeks, but wanted to know how soon I can reasonably expect to be my 'normal' self barring complications. I'd hate to go into a final round interview and find myself weeping partway through or look down to find a blood staining through my suit in the middle of my belly. I suppose they'd always remember me

You're NOT going to be remembered for THAT!!!

I'd guess one week, or the length of time your surgeon says to wait until you can drive.

BeagleLover is spot on about a week...and if you look down and see blood you will have bigger issues than a interview to deal with ;(
