how soon did you get back to work post op

I was 2 weeks, but went back light duty, which meant sitting a lot! I probably should have been off 3 weeks! I had no energy, I wasn't drinking enough water!! Once I pushed the Water I felt much better!! Good luck

I took six weeks off, i wanted to be absolutely sure I was ready. Im bored at being home now, but Im glad I took the additional time because I am still battling with some issues.

Yes it was manageable. The pain was really the rubbing of my pants on the incisions and that was fixed with better band aids.

However I will say that I am an old pro with surgeries. The gastric bypass was my 11 surgery in my life and I am 33. This was easy compared to other surgeries for me - for example shoulder surgery I was out much longer due to pain. I say that because if this is your first surgery expect it to be a little harder on your body.
