Going Back to Work after Weight Loss Surgery |
|
Written by Jane Long

Going back to work after weight loss surgery varies with the patient. It depends on the bariatric procedure chosen, the type of work you do, and your tolerance for pain and discomfort in the healing process. Some people go back after only a couple of weeks; others need six weeks or more to recuperate enough to resume work.
In general, the doctor will/will not give you the green light to go back to work. If he/she states that you still need more recovery time, do not push it. In the end, you could do yourself more harm than good; plus, you will actually lose more time on the job, if you develop complications because you were in a rush to resume normal activity. |

Weight loss surgery is definitely not for anyone; regardless of the amount one must lose to be a healthy weight. Not only is the surgery full of inherent risks, but life afterwards will drastically change from that day forward. If you are considering such drastic measures, you also need to be aware of how eating habits will change after bariatric surgery.
Forget piling your plate high at Thanksgiving or Christmas. You will not be able to waste calories on junk food. Your caloric intake will focus on nutrition and well-being. Unlike dieting, you cannot change your eating habits for a short period of time until you lose the weight. The eating changes you make after surgery will be a part of the rest of your life. You will eat to live, not live to eat. |
