I had 2 weeks off. I was actually sleeved on a Monday, left hospital on Wednesday. Had the rest of that week & the next off. To tell you the truth I could've went back that Monday.. I was very lucky & had no pain, just minor soreness.

I'm doing ok. As of now I think I might be able to make it back to work next Monday if I take it good and slow. I would love two weeks off but we will see.

Took two weeks. Returned this past Monday, with no problems whatsoever. Could have gone back earlier. I am 40 and have appointments all day.

      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.
