Just Had Surgery Today

Good luck with it - I found the day before a bit like a dream, was this all real? and also part of me was wanting to run screaming to the nearest McDonalds saying please don't do this!!! But I ignored that voice and got on with it and here I am now 1 day post op :-)

How did going back to work feel? Did you tell your colleagues? How are you doing now?

I work 10hr/6days and I was tired. Only person who knew about my surgery was the Fire Chief (I am not a firefighter, just a dispatcher). Everyone thought I was out sick for four days. I feel GREAT!!! Some co-workers still have no clue, but think it is unhealthy for me to be losing weight so fast. I tell them not to worry I have everything under control.

Wow long hours! I have a desk job so hopefully will be a bit easier! I'm not planning to tell anyone as I only started the job 2 months ago! Glad to here you feel great - looking forward to feeling that too soon :-)

I work for a contracting company in the Middle East. I am now the Fire Chief Admin. I am usually stuck at a desk or in meetings.

I was banded on May 2nd. I've had so much emotional support it's overwhelming but I'm sick & tired of the back pain. Drs say its gas pain but I've walked around & taken my sometimes it's better often times its the same.. I hit an emotional low yesterday- crying & fearing I had made a terrible mistake. It's effecting my sleep as well - sleeping in 4hr incrimendments.

I was banded on 12 of April and I did that the first few nights. My hubbs said it was almost like having a infant in the house. I took Phazyme to help with the gas pains. I went through the emotional roller coaster and just didn't want anyone to be around me. Until one day after waking up many times, I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself I will over come this. I will take control of my life!

Good Luck to you!

I felt EXACTLY the same way. Yesterday felt like a dream. That is the best way to describe it.
