SageTracey 608 Posted May 24, 2012 Two weeks. I am a desk jockey but I knew from past experience that a general anaesthetic always leaves me feeling wiped out for at least a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lillieb53 5 Posted May 24, 2012 I work in a retail pharmacy without the option to sit. I took off one week, felt great and went back to work and had horrible pains and broke out in a sweat. I started having all the symptoms of a heart attack. I ended up having to take another week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
