Hello. I have been out a total of 6 wks.. I actually go back to work this mon March 5th..im gonna plan my meals out and weigh everything to be prepared ..im nervous but happy to get back to reality ..

I’m only planning on taking 1 week as well. My doctor said he wants me up and active, just don’t lift over 20lbs.

I went back after one week but worked reduced hours that first week back.

I work from home, so I technically took no time off. If I had needed to go into the office, I could have done that starting post op day 4. The only thing I have struggled with is exhaustion from the low calorie intake, so that would prevent me from working, if my job was physical.

I had my surgery on a Thursday was back to work by Monday, however I have a desk job and worked from home the first week back to the office by the second.

That's great and hope all continues to go well

I can work remotely so I started half days on post-op Day 3. Will go in for important meetings next week, but otherwise likely to only go up to 2/3 usual hours. Then week 3 I'll be back full-time. I probably should have taken the entire first week off though, just to sleep as much as I wanted.

Had surgery Wednesday 2/28 and went back to work Monday 3/5. I was tired the first two days but have been having better energy sometimes. I have a desk job so it has definitely been easier for me to return to work so soon. I would have taken a week off, but I don't want my co-workers to suspect I had WLS.

Had surgery 2/26. Had a bleeding complication so it’s caused some anemia and weakness. Home two weeks and go back to work tm. We will see how it goes! I’m still very tired and having spasms that hurt when I sit in a chair or drive.
