Question How long did you wait till you went back to work?

I'm just curious how long and how did it go when you did go back?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I was 3 weeks out but was ready to go back the second week but my office wouldn't let me come back without a doctors release and I couldn't get in to see my doctor until the end of my 2nd almost 3 weeks out

I was out 2 weeks. The girl in the office had told me that he usually releases at 1 week, and I told her...Oh HECK no!!!! I at least want 2 weeks!!! Everything was fine going back. I was really afraid about trying new things at work, but I have been SO fortunate that I haven't had any problems tolerating any foods.

I took 3 weeks, but the third week I'm actually working from home full time -- so its really working, but I can still manage my food and eating better at home. That actually starts next Monday, so technically today was my last day before officially working, but I've been working all week in between. Heck I was on a four hour conference call this morning! I just wanted to be sure I had "real food" to eat before I went back to the office. I don't go to see my doc until Thursday.

I took off 4 weeks. The first week I went back, I worked 5 hours the first day, 6 hours the second day and third day, and the full 8 hours on the last two days of the week.

Becka -- it more than counts. Thats like working 24 hours a day plus overtime.... LOL

My grandson came and stayed for a couple of days, I was tired out by the time he left and I wasn't the primary care giver....LOL

Becka: heck yeah it counts. harder than sitting at a desk. i give you a lot of credit. I give anyone with the patience to watch kids LOTS of credit. my only saving grace is that i DROP my little monster OFF for the day
