I’m headed to BariatricPal Mexico to have a gastric sleeve at the end of this month. I have a desk job and when I had my gallbladder out last year, I was only out from work for about 5 days. I was sore and got tired easily but I was fine. I’m hoping it’s about the same recovery time with the sleeve surgery. When did you all go back to work?

Following. I am in the same boat.

Just had the sleeve in July and was back at work 1 after. The first 3 to 4 days are the hardest. But in also have a desk job, not a problem.

When is your surgery?

September 5th! I work from home at a desk job (I do everything via the phone).

I'm an accountant. I took off one week, worked one week of 1/2 days and then back to full time. Problem is, how fast you heal varies for everyone. Good luck with your surgery!

I have a desk job- surgery was 7/23 and I was back to work the following Monday 7/30. I was tired and sore but I made it. My 2nd week back to work has been MUCH better!

I hope to be back at work by the time you’re headed to surgery. Are you going to Mexico too?

With a desk job usually 7-10 days are enough..

No, I will be doing mine at a hospital in Boston. I am thinking of going to Mexico down the road for plastics though.

Had surgery on Tuesday. Discharged on Wednesday. Slept all day Thursday. Worked from home almost a full day Friday. Worked 2/3 of a day Monday and Tuesday and back to full schedule on Wednesday.
