Going back to work

Honestly how long after the sleeve can you physically go back to work?

Everyone's experience is different. I went back after a week, but I work a desk job. I had to move very slowly, and still had a bit of pain in the evenings.

Congrats I am glad that you are recovering well and have resume work.

Oh i really think i would go nuts in the house. I walk to different locations in a hospital. So i am thinking about 2 weeks

Two weeks is probably safe for you. I drive a school bus. Even though I am feeling pretty great at one week out, I'm glad I have one more week to recover. Driving a bus is actually pretty physical!

I was back at my desk job after 10 days. I probably could have gone back in 8 if I had pushed it.

I went back after 2 weeks, probably could have gone back sooner, I felt pretty good but I had scheduled 2 weeks off work so I took both weeks.

I was told from the start 2-3 weeks off work and I am 10 days out and grateful I have time to relax and heal. I guess my surgeon has a different approach I have seen a lot of people on here say they saw there Dr. just a few days out. I was sleeved on Oct 23 and my first Dr. visit will be Nov7th. I am lucky to have short term disability at work so I am taking the 3 weeks and I am enjoying it!

[GlutenFreeSingleMom 22]

My doctor has me off for 6 weeks

[nsweety123 19]

I hope i can go back 2 to 3 weeks. How about driving?

[kamkam 7]

I want back to my desk job on day 5. No problems. Full 9 hour day. Not tired. I was driving my second day back at home... but I also wasn't on any pain meds at that point

[nsweety123 19]

Wow they say each person is different but i hope its as good as your experience.

[kamkam 7]

I hope that for you to. I really did have a great recovery. Hardly any pain at all after 1st day. I've slept on my side since day 2. I was really pleasantly surprised by it all. Good luck to you

It really is dependent upon the job and the physical demand it has. I work in a gym and as a dog groomer and am unable to return to work for 4 weeks luckily I'm almost done. November 13 I am back at work I am going a bit stir crazy so I completely understand where you're coming from.
