PerfectlyImperfect 49 Posted November 13, 2012 My doctor had me out of work for a full 6 weeks. He says it's to give my body time to heal and get used to eating and being tired. So today is my first day back and I am exhausted. Just over an hour left of my shift and I'm barely going to walk out of here lol. I have no idea how some of you go back to work so fast. Just a small ranting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted November 13, 2012 Hmm.. I'm a teacher with small children and I'm only taking my Christmas break of 2 1/2 weeks off. I've had 2 lapband surgeries and 2 emergency removals and returned within a week or so on all of them. Hope this is similar and doable when I'm sleeved on the 14 of Dec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LezzieLez 180 Posted November 13, 2012 I am taking a week off and then a week of half days. Hopefully, I will be ok returning back to full days by week 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PerfectlyImperfect 49 Posted November 13, 2012 I know some can do it. I have fibromyalgia and I'm sure that is adding to it. Plus it's cold and raining here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinsMama 483 Posted November 13, 2012 My surgeon said he'd like us to take off as long as possible up to our full 6 week limits. I want to take no more than 2 weeks. How long do most Sleevers take? I've seen the range so far is 1 week to a few weeks. The 6 weeks is a first I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wonderfuss 6 Posted November 15, 2012 I'm going back to work next Wendesday and then out until the following monday. That should be a good getting back to work for me. I probably honestly could go back tomorrow but I developed a cold and I've been napping like crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted November 15, 2012 I work at FedEx office so I took 6 weeks off and then I return 12/16/12 in the middle of peak season. So it's scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
