Any cleaners by trade out there?

[gomekast 559]

Hi there...I'm getting sleeved Oct 22. I clean for a living, cleaning out 1000 sq ft apts for the apt complex I live in. (Yes I've seen lots of disgusting things left behind)

I'm wondering if anyone has a job similar and how was going back to work for you? What time frame did you go back?

I've got a high tolerance for pain but want to be realistic about my return to work.

Thanks for any help you guys!

At least 3 weeks. Especially if you're bending over quite a bit.

always check with your doctor first, but.................

your tummy needs to heal, its been invaded

strenuous cleaning, lifting - moving around - bending, hard "sweat" work....

"probably" at least 6 weeks before you "should" go back to work

but maybe, don't hurry back to work - important to concentrate on yourself and health

if you feel better earlier, its not adviceable (IMO) to "stir" things up

happy surgery on the 22nd

speedy recovery

good luck

i was told by my surgeon no lifting over 15lbs for four weeks. depending on how much you lift/carry at a time, that might hold it up.
