I'm a high school teacher. I was sleeved on 7/14/16 and I return to school on 8/4. My energy level was pretty low week 1, but now almost 2 weeks out it's pretty normal. My only concern about going back is the pain I am having on my left side. It's pretty severe when I am in a sitting position. While I spend most of the day on my feet teaching anyway, I am concerned about sitting through 2 days of PD and not being able to sit and plan like I need to be doing right now. While my team assures me that this pain is normal, I think mine is a bit more extreme than most or I'm being a baby about it.

I started my process May 23. I stressed to the team how I wanted it done before school started up and they totally got it done. I'm being sleeved July 28 would have been sooner but I had to use the CPAP machine for 30 consecutive days.

I too am a teacher with surgery on August 3rd but my day to go back is August 8th! It is going to be an incredible challenge. The doc said I can do it as long as I don't drive while on pain pills and keep hydrated.

I teach first grade and backed my surgery up to thanksgiving break. I missed a total of seven instruction days. I was completely honest with my principal about my surgery. She and my coworkers were very supportive. Although, they eyeball what I eat and drink like crazy. I could have gone back to work after a week, though I would have been pretty tired. I just told my students that I had to have surgery and they I needed them help me by being calm and gentle. They were great! The hardest thing for me was getting in my Water and Proteins at work. Definitely bring Protein shakes to work and sip throughout the day. I had a very easy transition to solids as well. I'm about 9 months out and have only gotten sick once, and has just a slight mustard intolerance. Best of luck to you!

I too am a teacher

I had to take10 says off. When I went back I had to carry around a Protein shake and I also had to drink tea. My blood sugar would get low. That was the most difficult thing. It is mentally difficult. Be prepared!

I'm so happy I found this post, I too am a teacher and scheduled to have my surgery Aug 8th...students return the 22. I started this process last school year hoping to have the procedure down this summer, but things did not go as planned so here I am. I'm worried about my energy level during school hours. I teach 4th grade so am constantly on the move. Ughh.

I am a counselor at a school and I will be having my surgery on August 8. I'm going to be taking about a month off so will be going back to school on September 6. Or at least that's the plan. Like others, I believe it's important for you to take care of yourself. Si do what you need to so that you'll be healthy.

@@SleevedAmy Thank you for the tip about tea in addition to the Protein drink. I will be doing half days (God willing) 6 days after surgery. My daughter and son will be there to help and my principal is in the know. I have to do ESL testing and nobody else is available to do it until the following week (I'd still have to train them...). It will be a one moment at a time situation.

Well I am a college student returning for my last year of college August 18th. My college is 45 minutes away from my home town. And I was worried how this would work out considering I would have to commute back and forth from my home town to my doctors appointments and back to my college town. I have a job as a peer mentor and I'll be out for 2 weeks.

I haven't scheduled mine yet, but I plan on taking off at the end of November. As several other people have mentioned here, you should never feel bad or guilty about taking time to take care of yourself, and this is one of those times where we need to take care of ourselves. =]

      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...

      April Surgery
      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
