Pricilla 92 Posted October 21, 2021 Hey all! I’m an operating room nurse and will be having the sleeve soon. Just wondering how long you waited before returning to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp93 26 Posted October 22, 2021 Not an operating room nurse but a final semester nursing school student, I had my surgery September 15 and I can do a lot of work with just minimal discomfort. I would however take at least 3-4 weeks off. Longer if you are required to lift people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris77 1,538 Posted October 23, 2021 I work in the OR. I took two weeks off. Just be careful when moving patients over. Take the feet and let someone else do the sides. I felt great a few days after surgery. I know it’s not always the norm but I had a pretty easy recovery and I was thankful for it. I hope you do as well. PM me anytime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
