I had the sleeve last year and I had to take 2 weeks off work. No way was I able to drive myself anywhere. I had a hard time walking and sitting up. I would say wait until you're surgery is over and you're at home to decide how long you'll stay out of work. Everyone's pain tolerance and mobility after surgery is different. You might do great. Or you might be like I was and in A LOT of pain. It's hard to predict. But I know the severe fatigue after the surgery gets most of us and makes it almost impossible to go back to work right away.

I agree too! It’s major surgery!

My surgery 5/15 and I am 71. Revision from Band to RNY
I am doing good now! Still need a nap daily. Could be I am not walking enough and struggle getting Protein in. Overall good though

I’m glad to hear you walked around inside your house. That’s what I’m doing. Laps around my house. I can’t get to the point where I’m presentable to be outside

I just had my sleeve on June 7. I am 69. My doctor was amazed at my progress

I haven't had mines yet but I know my doctor said no driving for 1 week and I literally live around the corner not even 2 miles away.

Anyone having sharp aches in their right side incision?? I’m only 4 days post op so I’m sure it’s normal but no other “incision spot” is sore except for this one… didn’t know if there would be a reason. Calling Monday if it still hurts as much as it does now…

My right incision is more tender too. It’s the largest and the bruise is horrific. It’s the spot where they removed my stomach. It also doesn’t help that I have an allergy to the adhesive. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone else sleeping a crazy amount?? I could literally sleep 12 hours straight. I’m going to have to start setting alarms for meds/water/ Protein. Had surgery on Wednesday… still sore, almost all gas is gone.

I’m definitely having long sleeping spells. I wake up, walk around for a bit, then I can fall back to sleep in minutes. I had surgery on Monday.

I'm so thankful for these answers. I literally have cried every day thinking I was not recovering properly because of the pain. I had surgery 4 days ago 🫣
