How much time did you take off after your sleeve? Did you feel like it was enough?

I took about three days or so but I have a desk job. Do what you can when you're ready.

I also have a desk job but I still was in pain from sitting in chair for 8 hours

I took off a week and then traveled to a conference where I was sitting a lot. It was actually very helpful for me because I heal best when I'm occupied with other things. I also took a family member with me and her job was to make sure I was getting enough rest and Protein . I had a really easy recovery but everyone is different.

I was sleeved on a Wednesday and went back to work on Tuesday. I have a desk job that I can sit or stand. First day back was fine. I just focused on my work and was committed to drinking. It was easy.

I took 5 weeks. I didn't want to be around ppl with colds and other nasties that I could catch. I also take the train and bus to work and didn't want to risk getting bumped into. The first 2 weeks are exhausting. I was always dizzy and tired and remembering to drink all day and take my Protein and pills would have been difficult at work. I work in an office and sit all day too but even my dr said to stay home. It's just safer.

Had surgery on Tuesday, went back to work on Monday, but I'm a desk jockey and only work in my office 2 days a week. I was working from home on Friday the week of surgery. I really depends on what you do and how you heal.

Two weeks. Could have used another half week or so. The first two days back were horrible.
