After WLS...I advised my boss that I would be out 6-8 weeks because my surgery is open...My date is 12/15 and looking to go back no later than 2/9...I am in no rush and I know that everybody is different but I would like to get back ASAP. I am an Underwriter and do nothing strenuous.

When did you go back and how did you feel?

Hey, I can't beleive I'm still up, it's way passed my bed time.  LOL. 

I had open RNY and felt well enough to go back to work in two weeks.  However, I wanted to give myself time to adjust to my new eating  habits, so I went back after 4 weeks. 
I was once a mess!!  My mess is now my message!! WLS saves lives!!  I'm living proof!

2 weeks..wow...My manager probably was looking at me like I was crazy when I said 6-8 weeks... I thought I would be gone for like 2 months and hop back on the scene looking fierce..lol.. I have not touched my make-up bagin a month and have not worn my hazel contacts in 6 weeks and my hair has been so so...I thought I would go back like a completely different woman..lol.. I may work from home after 4 weeks because I am on the 3rd floor...

 I thought 4 weeks would be plenty for laporascopic (hope that's spelled right), but I have had a minor complication every week so far so I am taking an extra week.  I teach the kids who get kicked out so I gotta be on my most alert.  I wish I was like Mack Momma-i been struggling some days boy! Friday they check for a stricture. I still wouldn't change my decision to have the surgery.

I had lap rny, and took 4 weeks just because I could.  I could have gone back after about 2.5 weeks....but the extra time was well worth it.

I had Lap-Band surgery.  I had the surgery on a Wednesday  and I went back to work the following Monday and I felt fine.

I just asked my surgeon this question he said two weeks should be fine but up to four weeks should be expected.
