How long did you take off of work? How long did you actually need? How long were you in pain? What was your job?

Sorry lots of questions. Trying to figure out how much time I will need. :)

I'm a nurse by the way, work for a busy pediatric clinic. It does not require lifting, just a lot of sitting/standing.

Thanks in advance!

I'm new here, the name is Taylor. :)

I'm self/employed so I had a different focus. I had to get back to work. I took almost 2 weeks off. Probably needed three. I was in excruciating pain from the hernia repair. The sleeve caused some pain but it was manageable. The hernia repair was not. I'm in property. On my feet and active for upwards of 15 hr a day. Gl!

I took 3 weeks and needed every day. Im a bank teller. The pain was for about a week but I then had other issues with Vitamins, vomiting, and discomfort after. I was also always tired so the three weeks was perfect time

I took one off and one short week work from home. I could have gone to work week 2 vsg no hernia. But I needed rest and ability to get comfortable when needed. I will be out of office just over two weeks when I return.

Some people go right back, I say take as much as you can financially and professionally afford!

I was sent back to work as a prison guard 2 weeks post op. Was definitely too early considering they said don't lift over 20 pounds for a month....my gun belt weighs me than that and I'm sure wrestling a 300 pound inmate wouldn't be good....I took it easy and tried to avoid a fight and I did ok. 6 weeks post op now.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
