How long were you off work after surgery?

[aprilalison 5]

Time off ranges from 2 weeks to 2 months.

It really depends on the person and their health.

I would assert that it's from 2 days if your surgery went really well and you're pretty tough or 2 months if you're on the opposite end of the spectrum. I work a desk job too and I had surgery on a Wednesday and was back to work the following Monday. I took only Thurs & Fri off, along with the weekend. One thing that will help, if you have your own space, is to bring a pillow with you and have it to support your belly. That was the worst part for me - I felt like my guts wanted to come out while walking around the house, but holding the pillow close gave me the extra support and comfort I needed.
