Had my sleeve done Monday the 6th by Dr. Fernando Garcia Govea at Hospital CER via Tijuana Bariatrics. Honestly, I was so nervous beforehand that I truly believed I made the wrong choice. However, after everything was said and done I believe it was a great choice. The hospital was cleanly (honestly, I don't know what I was expecting), but it was way above my expectations. I honestly haven't felt the urge to really explore Tijuana though. I don't really have the energy, lol. How long did it take everyone to be 100% and ready to return to work?

I returned to work after 2 weeks and was still a bit sore and drained as my work has me on my feet most of the day. Ideally I would have taken 3 wks as that was really when I started to feel “normal” again. It gets appreciably better each day post op. Congrats and happy healing!

Online work in 60-75 minute sessions: just five days.

Home-visits/Office-visits (10 mins drive; 50 mins interview; 10 mins drive home): 8th or 9th day

Full-sessions at business premises): (10 mins drive; 4 hrs work; 10 mins drive home: 12th day

(Today, noon on Thursday 9th Nov in eastern Australia, I am now 28th day post surgery and I have one home visit today followed by a 70 minute online interview with a continuing client who's easy to work with.)

I would wait till energy levels stabilize which usually are when you can get some solid foods in your body at 4 weeks. First 3 to 4 weeks for me I have low energy and got some dizzy spells where I almost fainted. I didnt go back to work for 8 weeks, but I have a much more physical type of job than most.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
