kaydg 9 Posted November 7, 2016 Hi! Felt like physically I could have gone back in a week or less, but would have probably been much more tired and miserable on a all liquid diet ding so. 2 weeks is a good amount in my opinion.

Xombae 113 Posted November 7, 2016 My surgeon is keeping me off work until after the first of the year. 8 weeks total, because of my job. I work in manufacturing and I twist, push, pull, lift and am on my feet 12hrs a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarenL 35 Posted November 8, 2016 I had my sleeve done on 10/20/16 and had my post op today. Dr says I can go back to work on 11/9 if I am able to work from home. Otherwise I will be on leave until 11/21. My energy level is so low that I can't imagine commuting 2 hours a day and putting in 8 hours at the office. My employer is pretty flexible with wfh policy so we'll see what my manager says tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GourmetH20 55 Posted November 10, 2016 I tried to go back 5 days after and my body still needed to relax. Get plenty of sleep. Well, that's what helped me. 2 weeks post op now. Down 28 lbs. Been in and out of work but hopefully I'll be back full time next week. I have a desk job and with the gas and digestive issues, I don't feel so comfy ysing the office bathroom! Good luck!

#BirdDog 604 Posted November 12, 2016 I took two weeks. Could have gone back a few days earlier. I did find I had to get up and walk around quite often or i started to get sore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The New Kel 1,312 Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) getting sleeved on 11/14 and taking 2 weeks off...is that enough time? I work a desk job... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App I also have a desk job. I went back to work after one week, but in retrospect should have taken two weeks off. I was tired and not real productive after just one week. Edited November 12, 2016 by The New Kel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thatmeanone 240 Posted November 12, 2016 I think you will be fine. I had surgery two weeks before school started this year - I teach pre k - and I was super nervous about it because I was still having incision pain and I move a lot. But honestly it was the best thing for me because I got really moving and had something else to occupy my mind. Incision pain 100% improved by my second or third day at work.
