How long did you take off work

I'm in Canada and I had the sleeve. It's quite common here to be off for anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks. I was off for 6 weeks. If your job consists of any heavy lifting they give you 6 weeks to recover without lifting anything over 10lbs during recovery. Also, a lot of restrictions. 4 weeks of milkshakes before surgery. Then no caffeine or alcohol for 6 months. Lifetime ban on carbonated beverages. Very strict, but they want you to succeed as its all paid for by the province. I am doing well and have lost 110lbs since the beginning of April. I'm very pleased with my results so far and I hope to continue to lose until I reach or exceed my goal. I feel blessed to have had this surgery.0
