How long are you all planning to be out of work? I work at a desk job and I feel like I might be able to work from home for part of he recovery time. What are y''all planning on doing?

Hello! My surgery (sleeve) is Nov. 6th. I start 1 week all liquid pre op diet tomorrow. It has been a long year preparing for this and I could not be more excited (and scared).

I want to be able to play with my 1 year old grand babies and chase them without being sore the whole next day! I want to be able to go to the BEACH again! And SWIM without being embarrassed! I want to put me/my health first again. My Surgeon required no smoking at all for 3 months prior to surgery so I quit!! After 30 years! That's how badly I want this. I never ever thought I could quit smoking, that is as huge as the surgery itself! I'm looking forward to being on here and lifting each other up as we go through this together ?

I'm a Realtor so a lot of what I do is from home. Hopefully I can get still get a lot done from home while recuperating.

Wow good luck meat and veggies on your pre- op should be a breeze !

I am taking off 6 weeks - I have 13 weeks in my sick bank and lose them when I retire in 2021. Actually I am on vacation now - for 2 weeks before surgery days I would lose if not taken. Total off work 8 weeks .

Wow, same day! My pre-op is going OK. I'm only on my second day of liquid. Hunger is manageable but it's hard to be around people at work for lunch. I don't want to be antisocial but the smells and sights are just so hard right now. I'm going to get some pre-op blood work done tomorrow during lunch because my office does free pizza every Friday. Great for morale, bad for my waist.

How are you doing?

i'm good . this is my fourth day of pre op and I have not been hungry at all . buy yeah get away from the pizza party! listen I want you to respond to me on the other page so you can see the calendar . don't know how we wound up with two pages .

I’m November 13th and having the sleeve done :-)
