Job Interview



Recommended Posts

So I have been interviewing with a company and if all goes well next Friday, the company will invite me onsite for an interview. I'm 11 days out from surgery. At this point, I don't think I'll interview onsite prior to surgery. My question is how soon after surgery do you think I'll be 'good enough' meaning have energy and not look like someone beat me up, to sit through a 3 hour interview? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? I can't push it out too long. Help!!!!

Everyone is different, but I went back to work at two weeks full days.

I will be one month post op next Friday and haven't returned to work, my follow up with the doctor is this Wednesday some days I feel ok and other days I don't. What does your doctor say about returning to work?

I don’t have my 5 wk apt with my doctor until the first week of November. I’ll see what he says. But regardless I definitely have very bad days. So I’m not ready for work... I think after major surgery it’s okay to take time off , if we have the means to do so.

I see so many people only taking 2 weeks off and ask myself what's wrong with me

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
