I KNOW that everyone is different and there are a lot of different things that can be factored in.... but how long were you out of work after surgery? I have a very laid back, No stress desk job... but I don't get paid if I'm not here... just trying to plan...

There may not be any post op over here since this is for september 2017 sleevers.

But I asked this same question and most ppl have said 1-2 weeks. It really just depends on you of course. But the most popular answer from those with the same type of job said 1-2 weeks.

I told my boss 10 days no work, and then I will do paperwork from home (there is tons of it do) and hopefully I can get through that ok and then see where I am at and if I can do more - like travel in the car. I am nervous about this also. I have time to take off but basically my bosses rely on me working to make them money. I asked this question also because I did not know if I was being realistic about it or not. I am just praying for no complications!

I work (Telework) from home 4 days a week and the only time I took off was for the three days that I was in the hospital. The only thing you need to take into consideration is that this surgery zaps your energy significantly, so beware.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
