ktsped 42 Posted May 28, 2012 Hi there... I had my surgery on April 16th and it happened to fall on my spring break. I went back to work the following Monday. I had some difficulty because I am a teacher and had a hard time so I took three days off that week. I also had some problems with acid and a low grade fever so that prevented me from feeling 100%. Good luck... remember you are having surgery so you need to give your body time to heal.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracyj75 0 Posted May 29, 2012 I had the lap band surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on Tuesday May 22, 2012 and I am going back to work tomorrow, May 29, 2012. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashleigh Childress 16 Posted May 29, 2012 I had the hietal hernia repair as well as lapband. I thought I would e back to work on Monday when my surgery was on the Tuesday of the prior week. I tried to go back to work but instead ended up staying at home another week. The extra week of rest was needed.... Remember it is still a major surgery so be kind to your body and the healing process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
