When will I be able to return to work post-op?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Friday Dec 7th and returned to work on Monday the 10th. That's not to say I wouldn't have enjoyed a few more days at home, but I work in an office and I really was fine. Now almost two weeks out, I'm almost completely back to normal except for an itchy steri strip rash.

Good luck!

I had my surgery on a tuesday, went back to work the next monday. Did fine all except have been tired easily since the surgery. I used to stay up late and watch t.v. Now, by 9:00 I am WORN OUT. Looking forward to my week of vacation next week!!!

Thanks very much for your input. I'm thinking of returning Monday or tuesday, but the nice thing is with FLMA I can take 4 weeks off if I want (provided I can afford not to be paid for that time). I had a c-section with my son, an ovary removed and tonsils out (as a kid). This almost sounds a little easier! :rolleyes:

This would probally rate like a tonsil removed then but little more pain... lol

These wounds are so small and dont take long to heal, after couple days.. for me the port area only area that hurt and by holding area it felt alot better when it hurt.

anyways good luck with surgery
