Having surgery on 28th of December



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery on the 28th and was wondering how long I would be off worked and how long I would be in the hospital. My question never got answered by the Dr. he didn't know if I could have surgery because of my heart.

Thanks

Me too!

I was told about two to three weeks before any light work. But it really depends on your body and its recovering ability I'm sure.

I'm praying your surgery is great and recovery will be fast...

i had the sleeve, and i was in hospital for 2 days. dr. protocal. I had surgery on Thursday AM and went to work on Monday.. but i had no issues since waking up from surgery. Everybody is different. Also your job requirements could be different than mine which may have you out longer depending if you are on your feet, if you have to lift stuff. I have a desk job and was fine to go back to work.

      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! 😞
