Going back work?

For anyone who had RNY, when did you go back to work? I will have 10 days from my surgery date before I go back. I am scared that is not enough. I only work 3 days a week at a school working as a tutor for children but I do walk a bit. Please share stories!

      you may be fine. I took three weeks off, but I could have easily gone back after about 10 days. I felt fine.

    If pressed, physically, I probably could have gone back after one or two weeks. The hardest part was the exhaustion that stayed for about the first six weeks. It helped too having the extra time to get used to everything. It was very much like having a brand new gadget without the user manual to go with it. I still feel that way sometimes. ????

    Unfortunately no one can predict how their recovery will go, but barring a major complication, you should be alright. Good luck!

    After being off for 6 weeks, I go back this Friday. I'm feeling bad. I keep getting dizzy every time I stand to walk.
