How long were you out of work

[disterdis 22]

2 weeks

I'm yet to have surgery, but am told I will be out of work for 6 weeks

It's an individual thing to me. My surgeon said whatever I was comfortable with. I went back to work a week after surgery and worked half days wed-fri them full days next week

I find this so strange! I have a co-worker who had her gall bladder taken out who was out for almost 3 weeks and one who had a hysterectomy who was out for 4 months! Yet people who are having 85% of their stomachs removed are going back in a couple of days. Doesn't seem fair!

I am having my gall bladder taken out AND umbilical hernia repair at the same time as my sleeve. I am telling my boss I am taking 2 weeks off but may need to work from home for a week or two after that depending on how I feel.
