Going back to work... just to be 100% certain...

:cool:I just wandered into this forum. I was banded on 6/26 but also had a bum gallbladder removed. I have eight incisions, one of which is about 5 inches. I was pretty sore. I have not gotten out yet but am walking around the house, yard and doing OK. No pain meds for 2 days now. I get fatigued very easily so going back to work was not an option for me this week. I am fairly healthy but my doc told me from day one that I should plan on being out for 2 weeks (I have about a year of sick leave). If I had to, I could probably go back tomorrow. I did not realize that being home could be this relaxing.

I was banded on 6/24 and planned to be back at work this past Monday. There was absolutely no way I could do it. In fact I am taking the rest of the week off and I'm so glad I'm doing that. Today is the first day that I actually feel a little more human. Hopefully tomorrow is even better.

Good luck to you!
