I am an ER RN, I took one week and have gone back to work, just not lifting or moving pt's. Raise the bed up to perform procdures!!!!!!!! That has helped more than anything!!
I am 2 weeks post op today and have lost 17 lbs since surgery and 33 total since starting the pre-op liquid diet. Good luck to everyone having surgery this month!! Keep your chin up it is worth it in the long run!!
