Back to work

Hi

I wanted to know how long after my sleeve can I go back to work.

It depends on what kind of job you have. I work at a desk. I am on the phone and computer most of the time. I had surgery on Wednesday and was back at work on Monday. If your job requires more physical exertion, I would take more time.

Good luck!!

THANK YOU FOR Responding. I'm a CNA, so I guess I will give my body the time it needs to heal,so I don't have any complications or pain

If you are up on your feet moving alot take 4 weeks. I took 8. Super glad I did too

I am a nurse and I took four weeks off and was so glad to have the time to heal, rest, and learn to eat and drink with my new sleeve.

I took 1 week I had my surgery on 7/20 n went back on 7/27 but yes it does depend on the work you do. I have to admit I felt better but extremely weak the first day or two not sure if anyone can relate.

Thank you...An I will take my needed time off. Because I do be on my feet a lot and bending and lifting

I took one week off. I was totally exhausted and spent a lot of that first week sleeping. I work from home full time. The second week I worked 4-5 hours each day. By the third week I was back full time. But I had to start working from the couch and the coffee table because it hurt my back really badly to sit in my desk chair all day.

I am very active at work (work IT in hotels), I am glad I found this. I was wondering how many days to take. I was thinking two weeks would be a good number but I am now wondering.

I had surgery July 15th, and i have desk job. I am going back to work august 3rd so took 2.5 weeks off. I probably could I have went back one week out but would rather be safe and make sure I'm 100%.
