Anyone go back to work two weeks after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve . I went back to work in 2 weeks. I was very tired by the end of the week. But all in all I was fine. I took shakes and Isopure with me. I am on my feet all day as a first grade teacher.

I went back after two weeks. I have predominantly an office job, plus teaching college classes, so not very physically demanding. I did ok, but I really could have used one more week energy wise.

I went back on post op day 10 and I'm a nurse. No problems other than needing a little nap when I got home that first week. Sip Water all day! I found that wearing a flexes or spandex type of undergarment under my scrubs helped a lot!

Well, it seems to be a theme here but I'm also in the medical field. I can take up to 4 weeks, but I think I'll go back at 3 weeks on January 2. Just found out right after my surgery I have a very serious medical issue that I may need some time off for so I want to save some.

I went back after 2 weeks...no issues here! Although my job is moderately sedentary...
