TheRev 235 Posted September 23, 2016 I'm 9 days out and have 2 full weeks off. And I'm freaking bored out of my mind. I've been walking different parks around me, but I end up back home in the laptop covertly doing work stuff. I'm likely going to go back into a few days early.

kelliev2015 136 Posted September 24, 2016 I did the same thing as @TheRev. I took two weeks off and ended up going back after one cause I was bored out of my mind. You won't know until you know. I would take 2 off if you can and see how you feel. If not, I feel like one week would be plenty for a desk job. I know everyone is different though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxSunshine! 0 Posted September 24, 2016 I had my surg on a Monday and went back to work the following Monday. I have a desk job also, so it was no problem for me. I felt great and wasn't that hungry. I didn't have a lot of sick time either and I didn't tell anyone that I was having the surg! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
