Post-op, Time off work

[beaker27 37]

I've just started my 3 month supervised diet. Getting ready for sleeve surgery. I'm wondering how much time did everyone take off work.

I took off 6 weeks. I was sleeved September 28, and I go back to work tomorrow (November 14).

Do you have a physical or desk job? Everyone is different and some people were back at work after a week or even less. I'd say to give yourself 2 weeks just in case. Unless you have a physically demanding job, then it will likely be more.

I took off three weeks, could have gone back at two but the time off was good.

I have a desk job, took off two weeks. Could have gone back a few days early.

I took 3 weeks and I'm a RN I felt good after 2 but I didn't want to return to work on full liquids .. My surgeon would excuse 6 weeks but I'm bored at home and I still have lifting restrictions for 3 weeks

I had surgery Wednesday and went back to work Monday, five days later. It was fine, but I have a very sedentary job.
