Yay! I'm happy I'm down 4 lbs this week! Still in pain since banded on 2/19/13. But getting Better!

That's 10 days, how bad is the pain? My plans are to have my surgery on a Thursday and go back to work (office mainly sitting) on Monday. They told me when i schedule my appt that I should be able to go to work without any problems as long as i dont lift anything heavy.

Everyone heals differently while some people can resume "normal" life I couldn't for at least two weeks and when I went to work I still had times where I left early in the third week. Just don't over do it and listen to your body is my best advice. I think I was just one of the complicated cases where things just didn't go as planned. Good luck!

I have a very light duty job and I planned on going back after two weeks and still couldn't. I had to take three more days. Don't over do it, you will regret it! Take care of your body!

I was banded 2/20/13 and I went back to work (office job sitting) the next Tuesday. They told me that as long as I wasn't lifting I would be fine. The first day back I got really tired but since then I have felt fine.

      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.
