How soon did everyone go back to work after surgery?
I know everyone heals differently, but I was feeling great--5 days post op when I went back to work today and it was awful. I did have a hernia fixed as well during the band procedure, but I was in pain today. I have a desk job, 8-5 and even went home for a nap at lunch, but it was a lot harder than I expected. I for sure have to go in tomorrow, so does anyone have any suggestions to help get through the day?
