Good Luck! I am a Endoscopy RN, Im not back to work yet. Only took 2 weeks off. I hope I don't regret it.

I'm taking about 2 1/2 weeks off, but I'm not on my feet. Best of luck with the ER shifts.

So far it isn't bad at all! I took 6 wks off since I have FMLA paid hours so I took advantage of that ,) I'm just scared to push or lift more than 10 lbs...

Hopes it goes well. I took 7 weeks off. Now that I'm back to work, it was an adjustment not having my Starbucks, vending machine pop and junk foods to keep me up and give me energy. But I didn't even crave them. I work Er too. I just take my shake before work maybe string cheese or Protein

snack , Water only. I'm doing fine.

Good luck

Glad you're doing so well. I've been approved but haven't gotten my surgery date yet. I'm wondering how long I should take off... I drive a fire truck.

I caint say for sure the exact time for anyone else. Everyone vary in the type of job and their personal recovery. But since its Major Surgery factor recovery time based on your job requirement and your physician can best advise you. Like some people at a desk job have literally taken off a week. I took off 7 weeks do to the lifting requirement of my job and other non related medical issues.
