Time off work

What is the most time anyone has got off from work?? While recuperating from sleeve surgery?

I took 2 weeks for my gallbladder (3/6/18) and 3 weeks for my sleeve (3/19/18) so 5 weeks total for both surgeries. I know people who went back in a week and people who took 6 weeks off for sleeve only. It depends on you, your job and employer, your insurance and your surgical team, I suppose.
I could have had more time if I wanted it but I was starting to feel a little better. I had a hard time getting a handle on my nutrition for the first few weeks so I was really exhausted. I would exercise and feel good for an hour, tops and then I would feel awful. Once I got a handle on my fluids and getting enough food in, I started to feel better and was ready for work.
Some people feel great straight away and go back to work right away.
How physically active are you at work?

I had my surgery on a Friday and was back to work the next Tuesday. My boss let me work remotely as I have a desk job where I sit in a cubicle all day. I worked from home the rest of that week. The following week I had already planned off as it was spring break. In hindsight I should have taken the earlier week off as well, because I was wiped out.
