Looking for any teachers who had bypass. It's looking like my surgery will be around September 1 and I'm just curious how long you had to take off to recover. I'm a kinder teacher trying to see if I can get away with only a week off.

Teacher here but hoping for sleeve... I'm seeing September with kinder, I'm just thinking that could not be worse timing... Those early routines and produces are the foundation for a smooth rest of the year... Any chance of doing late August?

Echoing nyteacher!! I think a consultation with the surgeon or scheduler is in order. With as hands on you have to be in kindergarten, and at the start of the year...ooohh boy.

I just think about being on the carpet and having to be "on" all day. I taught intermediate and I was always exhausted during the first few weeks-no surgery. I think you either need at least two weeks (I totally understand the sub issue, then add beginning of the year and kindergarten) or see if they could move your surgery up a month.

I just think your recovery will be severely compromised. Sending you best wishes though!!

I'm sort of thinking if you don't do Summer, Christmas break might be the next most logical thing... Sorry I know that's seven months away... Maybe they could fudge some visits to help you with the time table...

I haven't had the bypass but have taught kinder, just thinking of how interactive it is... Sitting in the little chairs or the floor, bending to tie shoes etc... They are the cutest but it is physical demanding...

Hi I teach preK, I took two weeks but I was out two and a half weeks. My body needed three weeks.

I taught pre-k for 7 years, compared to that- kinder is nothing :-) I think the hardest part will be the up/down/up/down

I like the idea of waiting till after the first weeks. Or, waiting till Christmas.

I'm teach primary now but when I got my sleeve I was at a desk job and one week off was not even enough then.

The issue was fatigue, from healing and from the low calories that first week.

I have heard recovery from bypass can be a bit harder than sleeve, but I don't know if that is true.

Good luck!!

I teach elementary and made sure my RNY bypass was scheduled the Monday after school was out in June. I had a pretty easy recovery, but definitely needed the time off. Maybe a two week winter break and taking a week at either end of that might be a better option for a healthy come back to the classroom. One week probably won't be enough for such a strenuous job. You and the kids will all benefit from a reschedule. I'm having the same thoughts about when I can schedule plastics. It can't be this summer, so I'm waiting until next summer.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
