Back to work

I know everyone is different, but how long after your ds surgery were you told to stay home before headed back to work. In a physical and sedentary job.

Not cleared for exercise or heavy lifting for six weeks if that helps.

Desk job you can return after two weeks but may be tired if a long commute and such.

My surgery was September 28. I am on medical leave and return to work on November 14. My job is about 60% travel/40% work from home.

My doctor sign me out for six weeks although I probably could have gone back after 2 weeks but I was already approved for disability. Desk job.

Thank you for your replies, mine is a desk job with some physical activity i would say 40/60. I have been concerned that there would not be enough healing time. Some doctors hear desk job and right away clear you to go back.

I am finding the daily Protein and Fluid intake to be a full-time job in itself.

I've got a desk job, I was back to work after a week (basically nine days, with the weekend). No problem.

My surgeon said i could go back to work the following monday if i felt up to it. I was sleeved on weds 10/5. I worked 4 hours on mon, tues, weds and 6 hours on thurs and fri. My one week follow up is monday, and i will be back to 8 hours a day starting tuesday.

Mine is purely a desk job. I work in Accounting.
