acrowder61 7 Posted March 24, 2018 I’m new to all this. Going to Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso. They are so nice. I’m just curious how I will feel after surgery. We have a vacation planned for July 15th so I hope my surgery is done in May. I plan on going back to work in 2-3 days after surgery. I have a desk job that doesn’t require lifting. Anyone able to return back to work this soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heatherlarae 12 Posted March 24, 2018 My surgery will also be either end of May or beginning of June. I had no idea that going back before 2 weeks would even be an option! I also have a desk job and just started a month ago. I was dreading missing 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine28 15 Posted March 25, 2018 Scheduling mine late May or June. Good luck everyone! I work from home but planning to take the week of surgery off. Hoping I’ll be mentally able to work by day 8 post op. 2 heatherlarae and acrowder61 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wjgo 272 Posted March 25, 2018 My. Dr says to take 2 weeks off, and does not want me lifting more than 30 lbs. I help run a small family business. I was doing paperwork when I got home.... No choice really.Be aware, it is hard to maintain the post-op liquid diet. You need to be sipping liquid all day, to get your h2o in. Work can easily distract you.Also, you will have incision area pain for at least several days after the surgery. I am 4 days past coming home, and it hurts a lot to get in/out of a bed and I've been sleeping in a recliner.Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbero 167 Posted March 25, 2018 Hi acrowder61, I am also in Owasso and going thru Bailey...how far along are you? Do you have a surgery date yet? I love Bailey...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay07 734 Posted March 25, 2018 Hello! I am (hopefully) going to be set up for surgery the same time! I would love to go back to work after a few days, but I need to take a realistic approach. Even if we are able to walk, it’s still major abdominal surgery that will leave you in pain and tired. I don’t think2-3 days is going to be feasible but maybe 1 week? I figure my surgery will be on a Monday, so it gives me the entire week plus a weekend to recover. Here’s to hoping because my boss might cry if I request 2 weeks haha.

Nickik 22 Posted March 26, 2018 I'm hoping for late May-early June as well. I wanted the kiddos out of school so I had extra hands to help with the baby.Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALFxRNY 540 Posted March 26, 2018 Looking at a late May early June date depending on which day my last nutrition appointment falls on. I currently take care of my mom so coming home afterwards is going to be a challenge. Best wishes to everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frust8 963 Posted March 26, 2018 No but I have kinfolk in Sepulpa and around Tulsa and I always thought Owasso had such a pretty sound to it. There was a,movie oh about the 60s or so with Pat Boone and Buddy Hackett. Buddy's character was supposed to be Chickasaw Indian with a pet bird named Owasso, stuck n in the back,of my mind until I saw your post. Don't remember if it was a chicken or seagull, I think,maybe chicken.[emoji215]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Kimbero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
