Yay. Anyone know the post op process...need to know how long I NEED to be out of wrk;-)

Yeah...def gonna have to stay on top of them. I think most people go back after 2 weeks but I think I'll stay out 3 weeks to be on the safe side.

I was out of the office 3 wks , I was granted permission to work from home. . Some ppl I have read only take 3-4 days..

Everyone is different.

It does help to take at least a week or two to help get yourself situated with your new way of eating and exercising. My energy level was definitely very low in the afternoon. Good luck....

Thanks!! I've had the lap band before and I was only out of work 2 days....but I'm an ER nurse and I have seen some people come to us post op a week out with drains and pain boluses still in place....
