Things I need to know

How long off work (office work)

How bad is the pain

How soon can you go the gym (treadmill walking)

How long till sex ☺️

How do you tell people you lost the weight so fast if you don't tell them you had surgery?

Thank you xxx

1st week I took a week off for the entire day, 2nd week I only did half days (special ed teacher)

Pain wasn't bad at all, just more uncomfortable and I do not do pain well. No pain meds once at home. One dose of Tylenol at home on the day of discharge (the next day after surgery). The pain you may experience is the gas pain. OH MY WORD!!!!!! I walked miles in home to help relieve the gas pain. I took Gas X strips, it moved the gas, but no release for 2 days.

You can walk about a week later, no strength training for 4 weeks (no heavy lifting).

That was tough, I waited almost 2 weeks. We couldn't wait any longer.

I just told people, too many women I work with. I didn't want rumors to start.

Suggestions: I used a recliner chair for sitting and sleeping. It made it much easier to get up and down. I also purchased a shower chair. Last thing you want to do is fall, especially in the shower.

Good luck to you. It was easier have RNY than having a baby. ????

Thank you so much x
