Sleeve Recovery Time

[zimazoom 3]

Can anyone tell me what your recovery time was with the sleeve?

From day of surgery until you felt you could go back to work (if a desk job)?

Thanks!

Two weeks for me.

I do hair which is a physically demanding job. On your feet for hours at a time. I was back in 3 weeks. I have had an amazing experience.

Honestly I could have gone back at 2 weeks, I work part time. But I took off the 4 weeks the doc wrote me out for, and an additional week. I am lucky that I could take the time off. I really enjoyed the extra time to get used to my eating/drinking and gym routine.

I was off for two weeks. Probably could have gone back sometime that second week if I had to, but was glad to have the extra time to rest/adjust.

I had my surgery in Mexico on a Wednesday and went back to work on Monday. I had no energy and honestly wished I had taken off an additional week.

I made it through the week - going to sleep as soon as i stepped in my house. I wasn't keeping up with my Water and food intake as I should've because I was so occupied with work.

If you can, do at least 2 weeks. If not, try your best to keep up with the Protein, Vitamins, and Water. You will need it!!

I was off for three weeks (thank God for Christmas break). I came back to work yesterday and although I was a bit tired driving home, I made it through a busy day fairly well.

I went back to work at 2 weeks. I didn't have any complications during surgery or recovery. It was fine, but I was TOTALLY exhausted. I probably could have used 1 more week off. In reality it took probably 6 weeks until I felt 100% back to full strength.

I'm am a week out today. Couldn't imagine going back this week really. I am a critical care nurse working night shift. My job is physically demanding. Hoping to have at least three weeks off.

I took two weeks off, and I am glad I did. I work a desk job but having to sit in the same upright position for 8 hours a day has made my largest incision sore.

Wow !! Congratz to all that went to work right after surgery.

I am a stay at home mom, it took me about 2 weeks to recoup well enough to take my kids to School in the CAR! ... I guess everyone's diff ... 4 weeks to actually get out the house. 7 weeks out since yesterday, If I eat my Protein and Water I have more energy than before surgery. Eat the wrong stuff I feel weak and sleepy ALLDAY.
