Anyone ever had a tummy tuck with liposuction done? I am a full-time driver and just wondering when I will be able to go back to work?

Ummmmm....... No
Ask your doctor.

When your doctor says you can, after you tell him/her what you do for a living and what kind of weight you lift.

What if I don't feel like I can do the job? I took off 6 weeks but my body is not physically ready to go back to work?

Then tell your doctor you need more time. How much time you looking for?

I'm not sure I'm going on my 6th week this week and still can barely walk .... I was told my Dr would release me on my next follow up appointment which is October 14 in which I'm hoping I will be ready by then but I'm nervous I won't be ready...

If not ready make sure the doctor knows it. Explain the difficulties of your job and that you're afraid you'll hurt yourself. Ask to schedule another appointment in 2 weeks.

Then when I go back I'm thinking dr will have me on restrictions but when I called sup he said they only put people that got hurt on the job on light duty? I was asking to be put on light duty...

You can only get like duty if you was hurt on the job

You should talk to your doctor and express your concerns to them.
