I went back to work (office job) 7 days after surgery, I didn't have any issues.

@@alinakravchuk - yes, resist telling everyone where you have been. "Eating less, moving more" is all the explanation I gave for the weight loss. Wait until you see who is supportive of your loss and who is going to be a bitch. You won't be able to tell until that happens.

8 day after for me. Glad to be back. I just called all of us together because there were various rumors. I first I confirmed my penis reduction surgery and that explains why my pants are already loose. Then I told them that I had an alien baby in my stomach and there will be constant growling. I did slip in wls before mentioning that I was doing the Mexico Water diet to constantly flush EVERYTHING out of my body and that I would be loosing weight one toilet flush at a time.

I went back, but my boss was the only one that knew I had surgery...she supported me fully. The only problem I had was having light headed moments, especially if I bent over. That lasted a few weeks, but now is gone. You will do great! Just don't push it

I was back on day 7 as well. I am 1.5 weeks out so today im finishing my first week back. My boss told me to come and go as tolerated my first week back. First two days i worked half days mainly due to headache and post op appt. you will be tired so be prepared. No lifting and walk when u can. The biggest issue i had was not remembering to sip sip sip because of being busy at work. I think the lower amount of Water helped extend my tiredness and headache.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
