Where my operating room nurses/techs at?

Hey all!

I’m an operating room nurse and will be having the sleeve soon.

Just wondering how long you waited before returning to work?

    Not an operating room nurse but a final semester nursing school student, I had my surgery September 15 and I can do a lot of work with just minimal discomfort. I would however take at least 3-4 weeks off. Longer if you are required to lift people

    I work in the OR. I took two weeks off. Just be careful when moving patients over. Take the feet and let someone else do the sides.
    I felt great a few days after surgery. I know it’s not always the norm but I had a pretty easy recovery and I was thankful for it. I hope you do as well. PM me anytime
