Poll: How long before you went back to work

[Away2me 1]

Surgery on Friday - back to normal activities on Monday. I tried not to lift my son too much (he's 26 pounds) but sometimes you have to lift a 1 1/2-year-old.

I have a desk job and I took a week off from work and then the next week was my Thanksgiving Holiday vacations I had scheduled off:smile:. I would say after 7 days you feel much better, however after about 10 days I was 100%.

I went back in one week, but going to work today, realized that I should have taken the second week. I was banded two weeks ago today.

I have a really bad head cold that I know I got from the office, and that is making me miserable.

I was banded on Monday and went to work (desk job) on Thursday. However, the day I was banded my dad was diagnosed with cancer and so I spent the day after surgery and the next day (until I went to work) at the hospital. I was sore but was able to keep my secret from my extended family. When they saw me moving gingerly they asked if I hurt my back. I told them I had actually just had a hiatal hernia repaired (which was true). No more questions and they still don't know.
