I have assignments ready, but this will be the 2nd week of school, otherwise I wouldn't worry. I will play it by ear and see what happens.

I have surgery on the 7th of Sept, a Tuesday. I teach, so getting time off is hard. I am hoping to be able to go back Wednesday. I don't have to do much except stand a little in class, but sitting is ok if I need to.

Anyone able to do this? Is there anything I can do before to make this more likely? Thanks.

I was banded Aug 9 and there was no way I could have went back to work the next day. I was to go home the same day but my doctor wanted me to stay overnight. The 1st 2 days I was in bed and got up to drink and try to walk out the gas. You MUST give your body time to heal or you could have issues with your band. Do you have a TA to can do the class or have another teacher do the two classes. Good luck.

It is painful the first few days to sit or stand. I needed to lay down and be propped up for a few days. There is a lot of pressure on the incision sites when you stand and sit.

It sounds like you have no choice and have made up your mind so good luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
