I was at 218 or so and am at 160. My lowest weight was about 143....I am tall so I am good with 145, not 160! I had my surgery on a Thursday, went back to work on Monday because I sit behind a desk all day and don't have to lift anything. I only lasted 1/2 a day but was back full time on Tuesday. I would ask your doctor though. The surgery was not painful at all, just the beginning to eat and drink was difficult for a while and you get kind of weak so if I did heavy lifting, etc, I would probably take off a couple of week at most. It all depends on how you feel really. I have ZERO regrets, it was the easiest thing I ever did really and I was not scared one bit. Being "normal" feels great but takes some getting used to....now I will work on the 15 pounds so that I can fit into my size 4's..... Ü
