How long did it take you to recover from sleeve surgery? How did you feel and when did you get back to work and what kind of work do you do because obviously most sedentry jobs would be easier to get back to quicker. (My job is a mixture, both sedentary as well as lifting and carrying equipment).

Just so I can get a sense of when I can get back to work. I know everyone is different but just wondering what other people's experiences have been.

I missed two days of work. I flew to Mexico Wednesday evening, had the surgery Thursday, flew home on a Sunday, and went back to work Monday. I have a desk job. On the first day back, I worked a shorter day, but after that, I was really fine.

I'm so happy to hear this !!! I had surgery on 9/11 Friday and went back to work on Monday.

I had surgery last Tuesday and was back to work this Monday. I work in management, so I move around the building a lot but don't really have a strenuous job.

I know everyone is different. I was able to get off the narcotic pain reliever on Wednesday (the night I came home) and switch to liquid tylenol. I think that helped me get back on my feet quicker.

Surgery 9/1

Home 9/1

Back to work 9/7

Hmmmmm, I guess I'll wait and see what my dr says. I want to get back to normal asap. Gonna do everything I can to get there. How hard is it?

My surgeon told me today 2 preferably 3 weeks. As long as I'm not on pain meds and tolerating water and protein well.
