sarvert 3 Posted August 18, 2013 How much time did you take off of work? I am considering having surgery Thursday or Friday before I have the week off for Thanksgiving. Just wondering if I would be ready to go back to work after the time off. I teach middle school, and am usually on my feet all day, but can teach from the stool. Would appreciate any advice! 3 Daydra, Alys3129 and brandnew reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alys3129 24 Posted August 18, 2013 I am also a teacher and soooo happy I had my surgery ove the summer. It took me a good week and a half to two weeks before I felt like I 'could' go to work (even though I'm off for the summer). I was soar and had a lot of left over gas which wa painful. After the second week I was out and about as normal. Hope this helps! 2 Mandagirl and sarvert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandagirl 11 Posted August 18, 2013 I took off two weeks. I would have been physically able to go back to work after the first week, but I took some time to rest. 1 sarvert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarvert 3 Posted August 18, 2013 I could wait and do it at Christmas Break or even next summer, but really want to make the change as soon as possible. With 2 kids,14 and 12, I think Thanksgiving would be better than Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
