1) How long did it take most of you to get back to work? I have short term disability and I will most likely stay home for as long as the doctor says it's O.K, but what's the average?
I don't work out of the home, but I would have needed a full week to have taken off.
2) How long before your energy level is back up and normal?
Today is day 13, and the first that I can say I feel great. Just took a mile & a half walk.
3) Did most of you get constipated? I am worried about this because I can't imagine not being regular...I have never had issues in this department?
The opposite of constipated....Yikes!!
Getting better, but glad I'm near a bathroom at all times....LOL
4) How soon before it is comfortable to have sex?
Had sex yesterday (day 12), no issues:)!
5) I weigh 235lbs and my goal is 135lbs, does this mean I will need surgery to tighten things up when I get to my goal? Don't think I will be in a position to afford this since my surgery is self pay until Cigna decided to if they will pay...
I went self pay, cause Ins wouldn't pay. Start 200lbs, day 13 188, goal 125.
I was in pain A LOT the first 4 days, I watched A LOT of movies....Didn't have much help, the hubby got banded with me on the same day - so we were a sight. Lots of soups, ice pops, Jello and you should be good.
Best of luck!, I did not find this forum till last week.
