Time off from work?

Ok so I also work a desk job, I had surgery on a Weds but only had enough time off for the remainder of the week planned to go back on Monday the following week. Now this is not to say this will be your experience, but I felt great after surgery didn't need pain meds and was back at work Thursday afternoon (literally 24 hours after my surgery). Please understand I am not suggesting you plan for that, but do realize that everyone will heal and feel differently you just need to listen to your doctor first and your body after that. I hope it works out well for you.

Thank you! I hope I have the same experience you do, would be great! Im glad yours went well! It gives me hope and encouragement

I took 1 week off and was totally fine going back. The first 3 days after surgery were super tough. I was fine day 5. I wasn't left with a lot of energy however I really think that's what's helped with having a good weight loss 3 weeks in.
