Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Mine is Sept 4th, I purposely scheduled it that way so I have an extra day off work due to the Labor Day holiday. I'm curious, how much time are you guys planning to take off work? I was planning to take off Sept 4-18. I'm a social worker and I'm out in the field a lot, but my doctor said I can return after two weeks on light desk duty.

I am taking 2 weeks & I will see how it goes. I work retail so I am on my feet 8-9 hours a day

After your surgery sip Water and walk. Of course you will question your decison to have surgery. But it will all be worth it. You wouldn't have gone this route if there was a simpler way for you. Also, of course, everything about the way you eat is irrevocably changed. I am 6 weeks out. You learn to eat slowly and stop when you begin to fel full, not to be "good" but to spare yourself side effects. And it will feel great when you are out to a restaurant to have a meal with family and after eating about 1/5 of the meal in front of you push it away and say, "That was delicous. I'm done." Good luck.
