Sleevers by profession.



Recommended Posts

A school psychologist has a doctorate. I have a Master's.

That's definitely not the difference...there are plenty of school psychologist that have Master's degrees... but thank you anyway, I was just curious to know if it was a regional type of thing because they seem so close but I researched it...sounds cool

How much time did you take off of work? I am considering having surgery Thursday or Friday before I have the week off for Thanksgiving. Just wondering if I would be ready to go back to work after the time off. I teach middle school' date=' and am usually on my feet all day, but can teach from the stool. Would appreciate any advice![/quote']

Plan on minimum 1 week and maximum 3 weeks. Everyone recovers differently, but 4 days off around thanksgiving is definitely an aggressive schedule for recovery. I needed 2 weeks off, but ended up taking 3 to feel well enough to work full days. I also spent the 1st week in the hospital and that is not typical.

I was an NZRN, a long time ago, nursing did not cause my obesity. I was a fat baby, then a fat kid, after the nursing bit I was a stay at home mum to 2 girls who are now 29 & 32. I have two grand daughters who live in the Uk with their mum and dad. If I am forced to fill in a form which has an occupation question I put Textile Artist! I currently live in Australia but have lived in up state New York and in Ottawa, Canada.

Usually you get 2-3 weeks off depends on the doctor. I was able to squeeze out

4 weeks then took a week vacation. Today I go back, sad face.

We are so blessed to have a career that enables us to do both! Although, it is a lot of work and I think I enjoy summer break more than my kids lol!

      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'. ???

        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!
