I probably only needed a week but I have over a year of time off banked up. I never take time off work other than a yearly vacation. I figured this was a justifiable reason to burn some of that time. I guess it depends on your personal situation in regards to type of work and how much time you have banked. AWESOME, THANK YOU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessLess 1,163 Posted May 12, 2019 I have a desk job and a sit/stand desk. I took a week off, worked from home for a week and was back in the office week 3. I was a little weak from consuming 300-500 or so calories a day, but it was OK. My surgeon doesn’t let you drive for a week. 1 CESILEYRAE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JessLess 1,163 Posted May 12, 2019 @CESILEYRAE I really didn’t need it. I had single incision VGS through my belly button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendyfm 494 Posted May 12, 2019 I think you might be pushing it if you go back that soon. It took me a week before I felt comfortable driving. I was also tired for about a month. I would say two weeks would be a good amount of time to take off. i work in a school, so had my surgery in the summer for just this reason. 1 JessLess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am happily retired☺️ good luck with surgery kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
