After my open RNY I took six or seven weeks off, but mostly because I had the time available. If I had to, I think I could have gone back at least part time after two or three weeks. The pain resolved pretty quickly, but a sense of fatigue lingered for awhile, and that's what would have kept me from full-time work at the 2-3 week point. By six weeks I was just milking the system, and my conscience (such as it is) wouldn't let me continue! Steve RNY 8/31/98 Dr Reinhold (Hospital of St Raphael, New Haven, Conn.)

I had my surgery on April 7 (Wednesday), released from the hospital and I was back at work on April 12 (Monday), everyone has their own recovery period- I know that some people take off the whole six weeks. It's been 2 1/2 weeks and I feel great, except for adjusting to the new diet schedule. Good Luck!Carrie Heidi, I am new to this posting, but I have been reading for months. I had my
