I thought recovery would be harder

I am almost 3 months out and I am also impressed with the recovery. It definitely isn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. My surgeon put me off work for 5 weeks, I took advantage of it, caught up on some Netflix, did some work around the house (minimal lifting, more light cleaning). As much as you feel good, you did just have a major surgery!

I'm amazed at how quickly you went through the whole process! Congratulations! Wishing you all the best!

My surgery is in 3 days and I am freaking the frig out!! I cannot tell you how much this post has helped me!! I tend to only be able to think of the worst case scenarios happening and feel like I'm like walking around in a daze cause I've psyched myself out so bad!!!

Thank you so much for posting such a positive update!!

I was feeling the same way but posting my worries on here and reading other's experiences has helped me relax! Good luck and hoping you have a speedy recovery!

I have felt worse after dental work than I did after RNY. Recovery was very quick and easy. I had surgery on Tuesday and was home on Thursday. On Sunday my sister in law came to visit. When she saw how great I was doing, she got over her fear of surgery and got surgery herself.

Congratulations WE are so glad to hear you are doing so great. Take it one day at a time and we are with you all the way Looking forward to your updates.

I hope I get that lucky! I'm on a 18 month maternity leave until November, so hopefully I can have my surgery before I go back to work and I don't have to to take time off right away after I return!

I was the same. I was working from home 1 week post op and in the office 2 weeks post op. I planned it that way as I already knew recovery would be pretty easy. You can always go back to work early.

Unless someone is in a very physical job, I can't imagine taking 4-6 weeks off.
