Hello all I tried to search this question but could find it. I am trying get an idea of how long everyone was out of work after lap-band surgery.

Well I am a stay at home mom, which is more physicial than any job I have ever had and I was up and taking care of my 3 1/2 yr old and 18 month old sons within 3 days of my surgery with no problems.

Had surgery on a Wednesday and was back by the next Wednesday....good luck to you!

I was back to school the next week, I'm a full time student. No problems. I was horseback riding at two weeks.

I had surgery on an outpatient basis on Wednesday and was back at my desk job on Monday. No worries.

that is great to hear. I didn't want to miss too much work if possible. I want to save my vacation time. Thank you

Um.....what using vacation time? I took sick leave!

I took a week and a half, tho it's widely known I'm a weenie. I was feeling great at about a week after surgery if that helps.

I will probably use sick time but if longer than a week I might have to use some vacation time...

I had surgery on Friday, flew home Monday (from Mexico) and worked on Tuesday. I have a desk job, so it wasn't that big of a deal. That Thursday though I ran a bunch of errands and tired myself out. I was feeling good and you kind of forget that it's major surgery you just had. I did make it through the work day, but took a nap when I got home.

I had surgery last Saturday, 7/23/05 and was back to work on Monday. I'm doing fine!

hey billy,

I had surgery w/ Fusco on a monday, went shopping for hours on tuesday, stayed in bed most of the day wednesday, and was back pretty much to normal by thursday. Fusco and the staff are great--follow up care too!

riverrat,

That is great. It is nice to talk to someone who has had Fusco. I am ready.
