HELLO EVERYONE, I AM A 911 DISPATCHER AND I AM LOOKING INTO GETTING THE GASTRIC SLEEVE NEXT MONTH. I CANT TAKE A LOT OF TIME OFF SO I AM WONDERING HOW MUCH TIME FROM MY SURGERY DATE DO YOU THINK I CAN RETURN TO WORK? I SIT DOWN AT A DESK THE WHOLE SHIFT, NO LIFTING.

My surgery was on a Thursday & I felt well enough to go back to work the following Monday. I guess it just depends on how your surgery goes.

I AM VERY VERY EXCITED! I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE PLACE I AM INTERESTED IN TO CONTACT ME. IM HOPING THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR MAY 25TH OR JUNE 8TH SO THAT WILL GIVE ME 5 DAYS OFF BEFORE I HAVE TO RETURN TO WORK. BUT LIKE I SAID I AM A 911 DISPATCHER SO I AM SITTING THE ENTIRE TIME. HOW WAS YOUR PAIN AFTER? HOW LONG AGO DID YOU HAVE YOUR VGS?

Do your surgery like on a Thursday and you can go back to work on Monday. Unless you have complications or your doctor says otherwise

My surgery was on 04/25. Minimum pain. My surgeon said I did exceptionally well.

I actually didn't even take all my pain meds. Only one day in hospital.
