I also work in mental health as a Psychiatric Technician. Unfortunately have to do alot of floor stabilizations, because of that I was told by my MD that I would not have patient contact for at least 4 weeks and 2 weeks of limited duty.

Same here

Ok....well if anyone happens to be a State of California employee, you have the option of limited duty..hope everything works out for those that don't. From the looks of all the information available on this form most ppl only need 2-6 weeks off. Best wishes to all my Bariatric Beauties.

I work at a hospital and I will be off 3 weeks to the day. Once I lift over 10 lbs again I'm going back to work... One I financially don't have a choice. Bord? Na... Our program includes PT pre and post op so ill be hitting the gym 3 days after surgery....

I have a sedentary job and requested 3 weeks. I'll see how I feel after the 2 week post-op if I feel like I have the energy to go back sooner.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
