How Long Did it take you to heal? Do think I can go back to school and work in three weeks.
As long as you don't have any complications, yeah.

I had an open rny and was basically on best rest for 8 weeks. That being said I did have some minor complications to contend with. From people I know, with the lap as long as you take it easy by 3 weeks you should be functional. The hardest part is getting used to living on so few calories right after the surgery.

Was weak and nauseaus from week 3 to week 5 post-op. Actually the naseua was there from the beginning and stopped about 5 weeks, but the weakness kicked in about 3 weeks. Im so thankful that I did not have to return to wor****il week 7. If at all possible, please take your time learn how to eat and chew at home. I threw up 3 times post op and im glad i was at home (well once I had to pull the car over).
I think its different for everyone and only you will be able to make the final decision if you are able to return so early. Some do, some can't. I could never have.
Good luck and we will make room on the losers bench for ya.

Met my first goal, met my second goal, met my surgeons goal. Now I have a new goal!
