I must be in la la land, I just saw all your stats. oh boy, I need to go to bed lol you have lost 130 lbs on lap band!! OMG that is incredible. Honestly, you have come such a long way already. I am hoping to be your current weight in a few days I commend you for your determination because not even with WLS is it easy. it HELPS but you still have to apply self control with calorie intake and self discipline to exercise. sigh. Nothing good is every easy right

you said family is on 'stand by'. Does that mean that someone will actually be physically present with you for about 2 weeks? or just on call if you want them to come

I took a week off. I have a desk job, so it wasn’t a big deal to me. I was fine on day 3 of post op.

My surgery was just last Monday 7/16. What I did was take off week before surgery, get affairs in order, etc bills, cleaning, food (liquid) shopping lol. I also did day trips to pool, beach etc because after surgery and it being summer, I know you cannot go to the pool etc just yet until cleared by physician. So for surgery, my surgeon approves up to two weeks off work which would be 10 sick days for me, so in total- 3 weeks. I do also have fridays off in the summer so when I do return to work, I will have 3 weeks left of 3 day weekends.

I planned my surgery so that I could have it during my summer time off (I teach). I'm two weeks out and I probably could survive working but I am still having to focus and work hard to get my fluids and Protein. I'm also pretty easily fatigued at this point.

Also a teacher getting my sleeve in the second
