I KNOW that everyone is different and there are a lot of different things that can be factored in.... but how long were you out of work after surgery? I have a very laid back, No stress desk job... but I don't get paid if I'm not here... just trying to plan...

There may not be any post op over here since this is for september 2017 sleevers.

But I asked this same question and most ppl have said 1-2 weeks. It really just depends on you of course. But the most popular answer from those with the same type of job said 1-2 weeks.

I told my boss 10 days no work, and then I will do paperwork from home (there is tons of it do) and hopefully I can get through that ok and then see where I am at and if I can do more - like travel in the car. I am nervous about this also. I have time to take off but basically my bosses rely on me working to make them money. I asked this question also because I did not know if I was being realistic about it or not. I am just praying for no complications!

I work (Telework) from home 4 days a week and the only time I took off was for the three days that I was in the hospital. The only thing you need to take into consideration is that this surgery zaps your energy significantly, so beware.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
