When did you return to work?

I was told 7 days, so that's what I'm taking. GOOD LUCK!

I have not had my surgery yet, but I am going to ask my Dr. opinion.I am a licensed vet tech (Basically a nurse for animals) and at times it can get very physically. I mean usually I am not the one restraining the animals, but I do occasionally. I mean I can tell them I can't lift the dogs or restrain the wild ones for a little bit. But I am on my feet for 10 or more hours per day. So I think I would aim for a week, but like I said, I will ask my dr's opinion

I find all this amazing. I was banded a week ago and don't feel all that great. I work at Lowe's so I can't go back for a month. (there aren't any light duty jobs there!). I had a hiatal hernia fixed at the time of the lapband. Also I had my gallbladder removed 5 weeks before. Too much? Maybe so after reading all the other posts. Thanks for all the posts though, I am trying to keep my spirits up.
