gonnabeaskinny 5 Posted January 27, 2013 I was curious how long most of you spent in the hospital after surgery? How long before you went back to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Annie B 89 Posted January 27, 2013 Two nights in the hospital, 2.5 weeks off but could have used a more time off due to energy level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takingcontrol 467 Posted January 27, 2013 I night in hospital & had mine over the holidays so I had about 3 weeks off...but I felt good enough that i could've gone back in a week if it wasn't a holiday & we were off anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gonnabeaskinny 5 Posted January 27, 2013 Was it easy to do light housework right away? My husband works out of town most of the time so I wonder if I will need a friend to stay with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunnydee 40 Posted January 27, 2013 My surgery is Monday and I was told that I should not plan to lift or do much house work for a couple weeks. You should have some one with you at least for the first week. I plan to go back to work in a week...I hope...Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Foor 655 Posted January 27, 2013 I was in hospital for 3 days, and off 2.5 weeks. For the first week to 3 weeks you won't have much energy for doing housework or anything else for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitkat 76 Posted January 27, 2013 I was in for two nights and went back to work a week after surgery. I have a desk job though. No energy and napped when I got home. No house work for a while I am just now back to normal energy and surgery was 12/18. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geminidrive 389 Posted January 27, 2013 One night in the hospital and went back to work 3 weeks later. The only restrictions were not to lift anything over ten pounds, so because I have large dog I couldn't walk him. The three weeks was perfect because I was able to get into my new eating routine without being distracted at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
