Her job was at a desk I'm pretty sure though but I hope this helps! 2 nikki7 and NYCGAL000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Introversion 1,876 Posted June 18, 2017 It depends on how physical or sedentary your job is, as well as how you recover. I had a partially active, partially sedentary job as a nurse supervisor at a hospital when I was sleeved. I took two weeks off, but could've gotten away with returning after a week since my recovery was uncomplicated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted June 18, 2017 I'm a desk jockey who can work from home when I need or want to, but -- Surgery was Tuesday, discharged Wednesday around 1 pm. Worked full day from home on Friday. Went into the office and did a full office day on Monday. Really depends on you, how you deal with pain (if you have any) and your work.

Her husband took a week but he has a more physical job. Everyone recovers and reacts differently. I plan to take at least a week, just in case.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
