Well, Here I am 4 weeks 1 day postop. I am down 39 pounds and feel pretty good. I went back to job #1 at 2 weeks postop and just talked to my boss about returning to job #2after my 6 week visit with my surgeon. My second job is very physical and I didn't want to mess anything up. I met 3 great women in the hospital that had the surgery either the same day as me or the day after and they have been wonderfully supportive. Thanks ladies. A friend of mine had surgery 5 days ago and I went to see him yesterday. He doesn't want to walk and I tried to tell him how important it is for him to get up and walk. I credit my quick recovery and release from the hospital to nothing more that walking. All you soon to be posts remember that when you are in there. He is doing good other than that. I went to the hospital where I work this morning and women that I have worked with for 6 years had to do double takes when they saw me and I've only been gone for 4 weeks. It was very uplifting that they noticed and I didn't tell them I was having WLS. So they weren't faking it. It was great. Good luck to everyone preparing. You'll do great just keep the faith.

Hi Linda, Wow I just read your info, I do believe they would have their hands full. It also has to be a comfort to know what to expect in your surgery, alot of us are going in blind and get a big surprise. You know how you should be treated by the staff and what you should be doing to help your selve. I will say a prayer for you today to have a safe and speedy recovery. May God Bless and Protect you Linda
