How long we're you out of work?

I was off for about 10 days and I felt fine when I went back.

It's fine. They gave me 2 months admin leave so I'm taking my time, got healed, and am off an running with my sleeve

I only took 3 days but really feel like 2 weeks would have been ideal. Desk job.

I took almost 3 weeks. I was approved for 4, but I'm feeling up to getting back.

sleeved on a Tuesday, back to work on the next Monday. On my feet for about 10 hours. I cook for a living.

Holy moly! don't know how you did that. I was on my feet cooking for about 3 hours for a special meal about 2 weeks post op, and I was exhausted! I was back to work within a few days, but I have a desk job and I work at home.

I am a teacher so I'm planning my band to sleeve revision during summer break so I'll have about 7 1/2 weeks off. I should be all healed and ready to go for the new school year, hopefully!

I took 6 weeks. NY requires all employers with over a certain number of employees to carry short term disability. They also don't allow anyone to come back with restrictions. My doc had lift, push, pull no more than 15 pounds for 6 weeks. Hence me being out for 6 weeks otherwise I would have gone back in 3 weeks.

Surgery on Monday morning and back to work the following Monday. Professional job- at desk seeing appointments. The amount of time was perfect! Not too little, not too much.
