tampa 55 Posted September 12, 2013 I was suppose to have surgery in July and delayed because my boss asked me to so that I could work that month. I am A little resentful to be honest. I have another window in early October but would need to be back at it working 3 weeks after surgery. I travel by car and am in sales. I know I can't lift heavy items and I think I have all that worked out. How was everyone feeling 3 weeks after surgery. Do you feel you could been working, driving 4/6 hours. Ect. Ect. Any feedback would be so appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharika 62 Posted September 12, 2013 I'm just a little over 1 week out and I feel great! I can't imagine how great I'll fell in two more weeks. I had very little pain and took no pain meds after surgery. However, everyone is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justinh125 472 Posted September 12, 2013 I'm 3 weeks yesterday, and I spent all day either visiting my clients in jail, or representing them in court...on my feet a lot and I felt fine, and my clients got some favorable outcomes. I think 3 weeks you should be fine as long as you walk a lot and stay hydrated. Only thing anyone noticed is my boss asked if I "didn't like" my lunch because I only took a few bites and boxed it up. I explained (vaguely,) that I had to have surgery due to some health problems (which is true,) and that I now feel full very quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindymg 629 Posted September 13, 2013 Make sure your insurance company is informed. I had to delay my surgery for a month because of work, and my insurance company tried to un-approve me the day before my rescheduled surgery. My surgeon, thankfully, was able to get the approval reinstated, or I might not be writing this. Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
