Hello,

New here..still in the info gathering process.

I was wondering how long were you on leave from work? I'm sure it varies by doctor but would like to get a general idea.

Thanks in advance! :)

Three weeks. My choice, doc would have let me go back in one week. However, I'm glad I stayed off that long. liquid in, liquid out. Almost uncontrollably. That cleared up just a couple of days before I returned.

I had surgery on Wednesday, September 26th and took off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from work. Today is Monday and I'm back in the office and feel pretty good with only a bit of soreness in my neck and the largest incision in my stomach.

I wonder how long it would take someone who is a CNA (certified nursing assistant) or someone who works in retail and is on their feet all day?

I'm assuming that a a CNA one would be involved in heavy lifting? I'm a nurse and my doctor told me 6 weeks off. And I'm gonna enjoy each and every minute :)

I'm a nurse, and I took 3 weeks off. It was perfect. My doctor suggested 2 weeks off for anyone in healthcare, if you're getting single incision.

Why do you believe the lap is best for you?

Not judging ... just curious

Others, please do not judge the responses, this is a personal decision.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
