Time off work for recovery

Ok update. I am 5-weeks post op now... My first response back on May 5th, I was pre-op and I only planned for 2-weeks out after surgery. I have a desk job 75% of the day so I felt 2-weeks would be enough. Based on my PCP high recommendation, I took 4-weeks and BOY did I need it. At two weeks, I would NEVER had been ready to come back. Energy level was still low, still sore, new tummy was still uneasy and still on some pain meds plus starting all Vitamins requirments. Although I felt better than surgery week at 2-weeks post-op, I still needed that additional resting/adjusting time. Just something to think about.

If all else, request more than 2 weeks and if you don't need it and feel up to going back after 2-weeks, go fo rit!
