How Long B/f Going Back To Work?



Recommended Posts

I work a desk job and have lots of flexibility to work from home if needed. I had surgery on a Wednesday and went back to work the following Tuesday . . . I was fine but those first few days back were pretty exhausting, and I worked shorter days and did some work at home in the afternoons for the first full week back. I think 2 weeks is a pretty good standard to go by - especially depending on your job.

I was sleeved on 12/8/11 and will return back to work on 1/3/12. I needed that third week as I was extremely sore. Feeling good with lots of energy.

I'm currently 5 days post op and my doctor advised I take two weeks off. Work gave me the green light to take as much time as I need but I think I should be fine after a week. Definitely less painful than it was and once this drain gets removed I should be alright considering I sit at work.

I took 1 week off of work. Had surgery Monday morning, home by Wednesday morning and then back to work the following Monday. The week I went back wasn't bad but I was tired when I got home.
