Back to work question

[Adrienne21 106]

I also had got my band on july 1. today is my first day going back. I know everyone is different but I will let you know how mine went. I do feel that I am not ready to go back. I don't know if its because I feel tired and drained or if I just hate that place. Maybe you can go in for a half day and see how that goes.

I am being banded on Wednesday and plan to go back to work the following Monday. I have a desk job no lifting or any thing physical. I would like to know if you folks think this will be ok. You've been throughout it already!ðŠ Thank you!

I wasn't ready that fast, I was off a whole week and the first day back was really tough. Everybody is different though...

I was banded on a Thursday and went back to work on the following Monday. I also have a desk job. Yes I was tired, but I sit all day so it really wasn't any different from sitting at home. I did stop taking my pain meds during the day on Saturday just to make sure I wasn't driving while on narcotics.

I've been very fortunate w my healing process. Was banded 7/2 and only took pain meds twice to satisfy my partner. Gas was my main issue which i resolved by numerous trips to the mailbox. Have slowly increased distance but careful not to overdo and have followed diet to a T. Also doing breathing treatments in little tubbie thing. At work today and feel great. Funny side effect since surgery, everyone and i mean EVERYONE reaks of garlic. Strong garlic. Makes kissin the lil old (and young) ladies in church quite the experience. Go for first postop this Thursday. Hope to get on mushies. My kingdom for a tablespoon of pulverized tuna salad. Who knew, who knew!? scales pointing to a WL of 30lbs but Dr will have final word on that. Good luck everyone. Take it one step at a time.
