Any Nurses Here?

[mrspopeye 69]

I took 2 weeks off and that was more than enough, although 4 days wouldn't have been enough for me. Took all i could and enjoyed the time off where i felt fine and could get myself organized for things that I didn't think of

Would you share some of the things you didn't think of post-op and what things did you do to help you feel organized afterwards?

Hi,

I am a nurse I Los Angeles. I was banded in 4/2010 and I have lost a total of 130 lb. In response to how soon we could go back to work... I am probably an exception, but I didn't take any time off at all. I didn't want anyone at work to know because I was afraid I wouldn't lose any weight, so I worked Frr, Sat, and Sunday ( 12 hr shifts), had the surgery on Monday, and was back to work Thur, Fri, and Sat. I am a labor and delivery nurse, so it is pretty physically demanding.

Hello! I love that there are so many nurses out here making the committment to better our lives! I'm an RN in MO. I was banded 1/10/12 and have lost 48lbs as of today. Fortunately, I also am a surgery nurse, so I REALLY knew too much for my own good, but fortunately I knew my CRNA and she gave me a great cocktail of versed and made sure I was comfortable. Surgery was a breeze. Week after crappy,but its kind of like having children, you forget about the pain. I've had my 3rd fill (4cc total) and THINK I've hit the sweet spot. With each fill you hae to really adjust your attitude about food. Glad to be here on the thread!
