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.

I started a new job one week post op. the first few weeks were all training class room things. I had soreness from where my incisions were.

but manageble for you?

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.
