I had my lap band surgery on April 8th went back to work on the the 18th thought I would be fine ,I am an LPN in a nursing home so theres alot of bending and after working all day Fri. I was tired but o.k. then on Sat I worked a 12 hr shift i didn't know if I would make it or not.When I got home I started to have some discomfort right above my belly button then today if I bend at all I have mild pain right at the belly button any one else have any thing like this happen to them? it is really starting to worry me

call and ask your surgeon. I think 10 days (and if you had surgery on the 8 and went back to work on friday the 17th...that is 9 days, just barely over a week!)

isn't enough time. I was still under lifting restrictions then. It may be adhesions, or you might have given yourself a hernia or something. Check w/your doc.

I think you are probably right about going back to work,I was listening to everyone say how some people are back to work in 3-4 days or out shopping I know I didn't feel that good in 3-4 days & I know everyone is different ...I am going to call the surgeons office in the morning ..thanks for the replyto my question

I think that's wise. Most LVN/LPNs I know work really HARD...it's a very physical job. Good luck!
