How Long?

[K6TYX 8]

I know everyone's different, i.m only 2 days post op but how long did it take you to feel ok again?

How long did you take off work?

Thanks in advance

I had surgery on Friday, and went to church on Sunday. I can't really remember how long before I was okay. But, since I had surgery on my stomach area, I did not drive for about 2 weeks. I am not sure that is necessary, but chose to do that. Best wishes, Karen

I had surgery on a Friday, the gas pain (I had it bad!) finally started subsiding by Monday and I was back at my normal routine by Wednesday. So for me, it look less than a week.

Had surgery on a Tuesday, went back to work the next Tuesday and felt horrible, but that was my last bad day. After that I was fine.

Banded on a Tuesday and worked 6 hours (almost full day) that Friday. It was not too bad, but I did a lot of sitting. However, that day was my turning point both mentally and physically. I was still in pain (mainly gas), but I found getting back to some normalcy very freeing and motivating.

I listened to my body, but pushed a little...

Banded on a Tuesday and I could have worked on Friday of I pushed, but I opted to go back on Monday. I was tired but ok. (I have a desk job)

I have a really sedentary job, but I was banded on a Thursday, work on the Monday. I was tired, for sure, but it wasn't too bad. My turning point was day 8, all of a sudden I felt almost like "normal" again! Good luck!

I had my surgery on a Friday and went back to work on Monday. I didn't feel like I was ready but once I got going and started getting things done I really felt much better.

Had surgery on May 15th and my energy just came back on June1st thanks to Vitamin B-12. 1st day back to work May 31st but on light duty, I'm a labor and delivery nurse. Not an easy job after surgery.

Im curious how much B12 you are taking. I am feeling great except I have no energy. I am working on getting my Protein and Water but thought about the b12 too. Is it a small pill or liquid? Where did you get yours?
