Hi Janice

Wow you are doing well, well done!!. I seem to have hit a slump and not losing at the moment, trying to stay focused, reading other forums the weight does seem to slow down then speed up again. I am doing all the right things, food, gym, so just have to take it as it comes, keep us posted with how it's going. I work 7 days a week so my replies might be late but i will reply. Keep up the good work

Best wishes

Just a question for anybody who has had a band or bypass, did you take time off work sick or use holiday for this? I am just wondering if I should save holiday for this or not. I don't mind work knowing I am having it done and the Doctor did refer me so I don't see why it shouldn't be sick leave. Also I know people are different and the operation differs but can anyone give me a rough idea of how long I would be off work for?

Hi Mazzie

It realy depends on you, i was back to work on day four after op, but i know some people had to have two weeks off. It really depends on how quick your body recovers and the varies from person to person. Most surgeons say 7 to 10 days.

Good luck, keep us posted
