Time Off Work?

[Albus 130]

I’ve booked 6 weeks which may be slightly excessive but work are happy for me to do it and I’d rather make sure I’m 100% before going back! I guess I could go back early if I feel it’s really taking the piss.

Don’t have a desk job, I’m a dentist so there’s a fair bit of strange positions to contort into sometimes and my patients could do without being exposed to my post WLS mood swings 😂

I had an RNY and I took off 6 weeks. I had some initial complications and was in the hospital for 5 days. I also got shingles while recovering which delayed the process. I could have gone back to work after 3 weeks, but I'm glad I took the whole 6 off. My energy levels were back to normal at the 6 week mark, and I was on a normal diet. My biggest point is you just don't know what could happen, complications arise. I'd plan on being off for 3 weeks minimum.
