Hello friends! I am getting sleeves tomorrow and a hairdresser, was wondering if there are any hairdressers out there who have been sleeved and about how long they were out of work. I know it varies on person, but would love to hear what you have to say. I'm 23 and active and work in a very busy salon. as of now I am out two weeks and that depends on how I'm feeling. Thanks!

Hi! I am a hairdresser and am two weeks post op. I had the sleeve on June 27th.

I am headed back to work tomorrow. I also took two weeks not sure how things would go. I have so many friends that all had different recovery times so I was taking a guess that two weeks would be plenty.

Overall, I feel like I'm ready to go back and get back into the swing of things. But, I have had such a hard time getting all my Protein in and in the first week all my Water. I have just felt so weak and blah that I am a little nervous. I am planning my food and drinks that I will need throughout the day and gonna try and stick to it. You know as hairdressers, we get so busy we forget to eat or drink anything, sometimes all day! So it's really gonna be different.

Good luck and just remember to do what the Dr. says! You'll b happy you did it!!

I had the sleeve exactly 3 werks before I had to return to work from maternity leave. I felt like that was a perfect amount of time. I had no pain by then ans was on pureeds so I had energy. Good luck with everything!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
