Time out of work
I'm pre op, but I am taking 3 weeks off. My husband was sleeved in 2012 and he took 3.5 weeks. He became severely dehydrated about 1 week out. If that hadn't happened he prolly could have returned at 2weeks, so I'm taki ng 3 to be safe. I have a physical job, too. I think that makes a difference too!

I initially intended to take off 2 weeks but when I called my surgeon's office to get clearance to go back to work they told me that he doesn't usually clear people until after the 1 month post op appointment. So I ended up taking 4 weeks off. It sounds like a lot compared to everyone else but I'm glad I took the time off.
