I am so nervous! I start my clear liquid diet tomorrow and surgery on the 7th. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubts, just nerves!!

@@Doingitformeandmyloves Yay! It's exciting huh! Keep us updated on your progress! Good luck!

Good luck!

I was very nervous almost chickened out at the last minute. It's a big decision and I'm glad I did it. You will be fine looking forward to hearing about how it goes

You won't regret it. I wished I would have done my surgery much sooner. Good luck!

I was sleeved 12/31/14... 6 days ago and have lost 9lbs. Went back to work on the 5th. I was so scared before, but so very glad now!!! Hang in there. You'll do fine. Just focus on what your surgeon tells you and before you know it.... you will be a week out! Think positive thoughts!!!

I should be having my sleeve around 1/28/15...I am planning to return to work on 2/3/15 everyone is telling me to take longer. Please share your experience with going back within a week of surgery. I just don't have the extra time to take off

I had my surgery December 29 and there is no way I could have gone back monday. It's taking me a little slower to recover/adapt from the surgery and I'm 35. However adjusting to the new lifestyle is a little more difficult than recovering from the procedure itself. I plan to go back to work on the 26 of Jan. Good luck wishing you the best

I had my surgery on 9/11/14 and went back to work on 9/17/14. I'm 45yrs old and went back to work with no problems (no lifting of course). I've lost 69 lbs and feeling fabulous.

Best of luck.

@thetaxlayd, I'll try to detail as best I can. Please know I work at a desk, computer work, thus no manual labor required.

Work: MON 1/5/15 (5 days post op) I worked a 1/2 day

Work: TUE 1/6/15 (6 days post op) I worked a full day

Physically, today (7 days post op), I'm only having minor issues with one of my incision sites, it is still tender. I'm moving around pretty normally. Also, I am low on energy. Today I've had 60g Protein (two Premier Protein shakes) so hoping my energy will get better and better as I am able to take more protein into my system.

Ask any questions for more info. Love to help those pre-op in any way.
