I forgt to ask...!!
I was out 6 weeks with the open RNY procedure.
Probably best to call the office back and ask what your surgeon recommends.
Good luck MIchelle! Get ready for a life changing experience!

I saw Dr. Clarke on Wednesday. My surgery is Friday. Right now I'm signed out for 4 weeks, but he said depending how I do it could be 3.. He's doing it laproscopicaly.

RNY ~ 01/25/2008 Terrence Clarke (Ellis Hosptial Bariatric Center).... Lower Body Lift with butt lift and upper thigh lift ~ 07/14/2009 Sanjiv Kayastha (K Plastic Surgery) -- LOVE IT !!!!
I had LAP RNY & was out 2 weeks. I remember when I told Dr Clarke I wanted to go back after 2 weeks he looked surprise. My reasoning at the time was that I had no intentions of telling my whole floor what I had done but unbeknownst to me the whole darn place knew before I was out of the OR!!!! Good Lord... I hate that grapevine!!!
Anyway - I went back after 2 weeks & my boss said if I ever felt like I needed to leave early I was to get up & leave & just send him an email. The only day that kicked my butt was the first day back other than that everythign was good!! I was tired but it I survived!! I even rode the bus everyday too!!!
I guess ultimately it depends on you, your job & how well you heal. I have a desk job with an extremely lenient boss (even though I work for the state) & apparently I heal pretty well!!!
Do what is best for you & what you will be most comfy with!!! Good luck!!!

I went back after two, could have used three, but I did what I hadta do. Dr. Garber said some people can go back after 1, if he said that to me now, I'd roll on his floor in laughter! Seriously, at the beginning of my first week back, I had to take a cab from Penn Station to B'way & 26th; by the end of the week I was walking both ways. Three would have been my ideal, but everyone's different.
None of them were out more than 2 weeks. 
We'll all be different and our docs with have their own ideas as to what's best. I believe with such a surgery they were back too soon, but I'm no doc! lol
