this sucks 557 Posted November 1, 2016 I will end up being off 5 weeks. I'm not going to rush to get back when I'm still learning how to deal with my new tiny stomach. Today is two weeks post op and I'm glad that I didn't have to be back already. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted November 1, 2016 I am currently on short term disability, and I will go back to work after a total of six weeks. Taking the time to heal, and also to work through the food stages and make the necessary adjustments to living a successful life post-op (eating and otherwise) are my primary objectives right now, and taking the time to devote myself to it 100% has been the best decision for me.
