Congrats on setting a date for surgery! I know that many people have said that they go back to work the same day as their surgery ... Honestly, I don't know how these people do it haha. I was banded on Thursday, June 19, and I'm still not ready to go back to work. Luckily, I have a long weekend to heal, and I'm also taking off Monday and Tuesday. I think I'll be better by Wednesday, but I'm just not sure I could go back to work the same day as my surgery, or even the next day . I'm taking naps in the afternoons, on top of sleeping 8 or 9 hours at night. I think my body is telling me that I need to take it easy :biggrin2: I'm taking full advantage of the fact that my parents are staying with my husband and I until Sunday, to help take care of our 19-month old daughter! Anyway, take your time to heal - don't rush getting back to work; you need to focus on yourself. Best of luck with everything! -Sarah H.
