2 Weeks Post Op Back At Work!

[Misstxdiva 73]

First day back at work (I'm a bank analyst so I sit all day) and so far so good. Had such a warm welcoming from my co-workers especially the ones who knew about my surgery. They noticed a difference so I was happy plus I looked fabulous today :-D showing off my slighlty smaller frame. I didn't feel like I was going to die hiking up to the building and 3 floors (elevator) to my desk so that's progress. I feel really good. Only thing that sucks is sitting i get a cramp where my largest stich is so I have to stand or walk on my breaks when I get the chance. Haven't had any problems with food so far just Tomato Soup which doesn't agree with me right now. Had about 1/2 cup of chicken salad and sugar free pudding for lunch, did a small walk. Feel relaxed. Day is going by fast. Glad my first day is going well! Really thankful I've been able to recover easily with no setbacks.

That's do great to hear I have not been sleeved but started my process. I'm glad u were able to get back to work fine. I'm the sole provider for my house and that is something that I fear having complications and having to miss work. congrats on your quick recovery.

Thanks Nisalet, I'm glad I didn't have to take more time I was starting to go stir crazy sitting at home and I only got paid 60% (been here less than a year) for the second week so I was eager to get back to making money LOL. How far in your process are you?

I am glad to hear you are doing so good. I did the same but my Dr wouldnt let me go back to work till 3 weeks out...I was going crazy at home so I feel ya!

LOL I hear you. My process is slow due to the 6 month of monitored diet I'm going for my 2 month weight in next week, I had my 1st surgeon consultation and he did pre-op testing on me i'm guessing the will be re-done when my 6 month are done.

I'm strating the support groups which is also required by my insurance so as you can see I have a long way to go I'm here learning every day from you guys and hoping to be sleeved asap.

Thanks Kimmy, Nisalet before you know it six months will be up. I started the process in October and felt like it would be forever. Had 4 months then company switched insurance and I had to tack on an additional two months then boom it's April surgery time (got approved late March). Just make sure you get everything you need i.e. labs, psych eval whatever is required outside the appointments that way when time comes the office can submit and youll be on your way.

Congrats misstx. Maybe Tomato Soup is too acidic right now. I also had some aches and pains here and there. They've slowly dwindled.

Thanks Cmullin and Claudia good luck on your surgery I'm sure you'll do well! Overall good day despite me getting ahead of myself with bill millers BBQ pieces of turkey and scoop of hash brown. Sleeve definitely didn't like that
