Topic: One Week Post Op
One week out and everything has been going pretty well.  So far I'm down about 25lbs in 7 days so I guess that is pretty good.  Pre Op Testing Weight 452.....Surgery Day Weight 443.......Todays weight is 417......

Thank you.  You're gonna do fine, too.  My 6 week appt is 4/11.  I'm ready for my strength training and zumba!  You'll be sleeved and recovered before you know it.  There so many changes the first few weeks that time will really fly by!

I took 3 weeks off and going back any sooner would have been hard.

Congratulations on "getting it done"! I'm scheduled for next Monday (4/11) and I can't wait to get this over with.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can recover pretty quickly.  You seem to be doing well.

OT: Khem, you're doing FAB!

Welcome to the loser's bench!  I was off a month; but it was because of the type of work I do.  I couldn't do heavy lifting.  It does vary with each individual though.  Just take it very slowly and carefully at first. 

When did you go home?  I came back to work Wednesday, but on another floor.  How are you doing so far?

Dr Hodge just performed my RNY last Tuesday (3 days postop).  I would recommend him.  His staff, especially Pat Kline will be right there with you.  Congratulations on your approval!

I had my surgery Monday morning.  Everything went fine.  I was just wondering how long did most of you guys take off from work??  They gave me a month off but I don't think I need to take that many days off.

Congratulations newtintn!
You are beginning a wonderful journey.
  I haven't posted in a while but wanted to wish you luck and God Bless.  Yes, there will be days you will ask yourself, "did I do the right thing?" but it sounds like you have had to really fight for the chance to feel better about yourself and in turn, your life (a 2 1/2 year battle!).  Good for you.  AND YES, YAY YOU!!!
