How long are you taking off?



Recommended Posts

I'm planning to have my surgery on a Tuesday and going back to work the next Monday. I will probably try to fix it so I am able to do some work from home if everything goes as well as I expect it to.

I really wanted to do the surgery on a Thursday and go back to work the next Monday, but my surgeon said I would need the extra two days.

First, I would like to say CONGRATS to all of you that have had the surgery. You guys are a true inspiration!!!! Secondly, thank you guys so much for your input it made me feel a lot better knowing that I'll probably be fine with going back to work on the Monday after surgery.

Thanks again and TONS of continued success to each of you!

OMG, How cool! My surgery is on October 5th. I think you should be good taking off the rest of the week and going back on Monday. When my aunt had the surgery she was out shopping the day she was discharged from the hospital. Just try to get as much rest as you can while you are at home. Good luck!!!! and Congrats:w00t:

      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?
