    I had my surgery on Monday, flew back to Canada on Thursday and was back to work that following Monday so I guess exactly one week from surgery......

    I was back working within 5 days. I work online though, so the physical demands were not over the top. I had to take it a bit easy, but mostly I was fine. I just made sure I got up and went for a walk every hour.

    I had surgery and ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days so that was one week then I stayed out another 4 weeks so for me I was out 5 weeks. It was hard money wise but we just made it by with my boyfriends income. I am on my way back to work tomorrow and am so ready to lift again. I am a lead teacher in the infant room at a daycare and have been missing my babies so so much. I am excited and scared to see what I am going to walk into at the same time tomorrow!!!

    I work in corrections as an officer so it is a very demanding job, up all the time and possibly restraining individuals. Right now I could not do my job recovering from surgery but I have 3 weeks off of work so I am assuming by then I will feel better and be ready to go back.

    I had my op on 11th April 2011, and because of my breathing problems my doctor won't let me go back to work until August 2011...

    Thanks Cindylutz...
    Weight-loss does slow down a little, but after a week or so...it kick starts again!!!
    Good luck on your journey, its the best thing that has ever happened to me in a long time...
