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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

      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.
