Time off work

[darbymc23 0]

I just got scheduled for surgery. Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on how much time off work I should expect?

I took 2 weeks just for the hell of it..jk. That is what my surgeon suggested since I do heavy lifting.

Depends on what you do. I have a desk job and Thursday/ Friday sat and sun was perfect. Good luck

I agree,3 or 4 days should be enough if you have a desk job. I was banded on Sunday last (24.03) and returned to work yesterday. The initial discomfort should be over you within 3/4 days if you keep moving around. Best of luck.

I'm a registered nurse on the cardiac unit. I am taking off two weeks... from April 8th to the 21st! I have 4 shifts left till I'm banded! But I will rwally have to watch what I do when I go back, but felt I really need/deserve the 2 weeks!

I think it depends on how your body deals with pain. I'm not one that sits around and thinks about it. I had my surgery on Thusrsday and was back to work on Monday. I found that to be plenty of time. Good luck!
