About 6 weeks out and back to life

[emsgirl114 88]

Monday makes 6 weeks. While I wish I could say i have lost a ton of lbs so far but only 24. Which is fine. I know things will keep moving along as long as I do my part. The great news is if was able to resume my position in my volunteer fire department. Meaning my dr completely cleared me. I've been back to my regular job for a while. But I am a licensed emt for my local fire department. And it's very physical work. I started back on 1/1 and have been on a few calls. My strength is some what low but I feel much more nimble in my ambulance. I am so glad to be back out there. And feels good having more breathing room in my uniform. Love to hear how others are feeling

I just had my sleeve 1-5-15 and although my doctor and I discussed going back to work that was before he injured my spleen :/ I may need to take another week off just to be ok. This really hurts.

oh no that's horrible. I ended up taking 3 weeks off. I got an infection at my incision site that they removed my band and stomach. I needed every minute of that 3 weeks. Take as much time as you need. Rushing just delays healing.
