Only 2 weeks wow I had a GPS in 2000 and the recovery time was 6 weeks to return to a regular job.
Are you having it done by scope? or do they have to open you up? That there would make a big difference as well.
But I think its going to have to do with a lot of things like how fast you heal, and if you have any complications.
Good luck to you!

hello
sass63,thanks for the feed back .the scope will be used for the surgery.I hope and pray
that everything goes well.my boss said that i have up to five weeks of sick time that i can use so thats a plus.but thanks again for the response and hope to chat real soon.
I am glad you can get the scope they had to open me wide open.
I would be glad to chat with you sometime I remember how scary it was facing the surgery. my user name for yahoo is buxkinerswife
Its been a really long haul for me. I had it in my head the surgery was a cure all and as you will find out here its not. Most of the time its not even the right thing to do. I had a fast loss I went from about 432 to 270 and then when I could eat regularly again I blew it and put on almost 70lbs. At that time I knew I had to do something but figuring it was that something went wrong with the surgery I went back to the surgeon. Well I found out that no everything was still fine and my new tummy was the size it was suposed to be that I finally had to take a long look at what I was doing. Then I had to figure out how to fix it.
I was going to write this before but I didnt want to scare you or anything. And I still hope I am not scaring you. But you do need to know that its going to take a lot of work and hard work and lots of changes to get that weight off and keep it off even with the surgery.
I really didn't think that I thought I was going for the easy way but in the end I found out wrong. And I hope I can help spare you from the disapointment and heartache it can cause.

Two weeks for a physical job? No way, this is something you are best talking to your doctor about. Welcome to the board!
