So Frustrated !!
I feel your pain. I work in the cardiac surgical icu and had only 4 weeks off. I do alot of pushing and pulling with patients that are sedated and paralyzed. I just made sure I had good body mechanics and thank goodness my coworkers were there to lend an extra hand. I had a lap rny.
But I must say it wasnt as nearly bad as I thought it would be. Earlier last year, prior to my rny, I had an open procedure for a large ovarian cyst with adhesions to my bladder, bowel and omentum and that was way worse, but I was good to go after the 6 weeks off.
Good luck and try not to worry too much, you will be feeling better soon!

The sugeons nurse just returned my call. She was so rude, she states she mailed my paperwork out today and that it usually takes 72 hrs. Like I should be grateful that she is rushing for me. I told her thaT I wanted it faxed and she said well you should get it by tomorrow or Monday. I asked her what she put on the paper and she said that she does so many that she couldn't remember, that it will be here soon and I can read it. Talk about customer service HA!
