I will be having surgery in Mexico with Dr.Altamirino. I work as a nurse.Trying to figure out how soon I will be able to return to work.

Hi Belinda,

I am having surgery on September 9th. I return to work on September 21st. Well that is my plan. My Dr. said she will see, my employer said they need me back by that day. This is going to be a fun ride.

I work at a college and Fall classes begin on September 21st, that is why my employer said that.

Maybe we van transition back to work quickly.We may have to just take it slow.

I was sleeved on July 23. Back to work August 3rd. I was fine but I will say another week would of been nice.

My sister is an RN & took off 2 wks bc they limit the lifting, she did great no problems just tired for a few weeks, I had my sleeve & on the 3rd day post op pulled my inner stitches out & I was also out 2 wks, you will be sore I found that those Salon Pas pain patches stink but did help.

I was sleeved on July 8 and back to work on July 27th ... and coming back was the BEST thing for me ... I was so "out of it" at home ... dopey/sleepy/grumpy and every other dwarf ! But coming back forced me to push through it and focus on other things ... the first few days I was SO TIRED when I got home I just went to bed ... Thank God for my husband! But the past week has been great ... I'm getting back to the old me ...

I say as long as you're feeling ready ... or maybe a little unsure ... just try a day or two ... or try a half day .. don't push yourself too much ... you don't want to go backwards in the healing process!

Your body will let you know
