Hi Nikki,

It is great to hear that. I'm being banded next week and was concerned about my energy level and being able to handle going back to work.

Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Hi Nicki and Jen - I am a teacher and will be banded on a Friday. I am hoping to return to work the following Monday. Do you think this is reality? I have had my tubes tied and was up and doing normal things the next day. I value your feedback.

WHAT A SURPRISE

Hi ladies, I return back to work today (school secretary) and was surprised by the sorness that creeped up on me midmorning. when I got home I had dinner (cream soup) sat down on the couch and knocked out, slept 3 hours. what the h--l, I was out and about on day 3 post-op

My doctor kept us home for a week. Keep in mind that everyone is differant in how they react to meds, surgery etc. I had surgery on Wed and was home on Thursdays and a minor thing surgery on Friday slept the whole day and felt great on Sat. So for me it was 3 days. I was up and walking right after surgery.
