So just had my procedure done on Friday and right now I'm halfway through my first shift at work. No problems! Before coming in I felt a little weird but then realized I was just overheated. Once I got in the AC that cleared right up. Was kinda worried I wouldn't make it but it looks like I'm good. Does seem like it's dragging but that's ok, don't need any excitement tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed for the next 6 hours!

Wow, I was thinking I'd be out of work for 4 weeks. I'm a developer so subdued environment. I'm impressed, just don't overdo it and end up back at hospital.

wow you are back so soon. That is amazing. I wish you well. Be careful not to take on too much at once.

My surgeon told me that pouch is at risk for 6 weeks after for rupturing. So take it slow and easy. Best of health to you !!!!:D

Like you I went back quickly. I was sleeved on 4/27 and was back to work on 5/8. !0 days of rest. My surgeon had no issue with it. I work at a desk and was more at risk of over doing it at home. I fidget, can't sit on my butt for long before I need to scrub a tub or something.

I get tired, yes, but all and all its been pretty easy.

I was honestly at 100% by my 2nd day at work. Being forced to participate in society is much better for me or else I would just lie around at home.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
