Wheetsin 714 Posted March 11, 2008 I had surgery on a Wed and returned to work one week later, after my staples were removed. I could have returned sooner, but I was enjoying my time off. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foofy 0 Posted March 11, 2008 I had surgery on Monday and went back to the office on Friday. I didn't take any pain meds after I came home, and my biggest problem was the bloating and loose stools for about three days. I didn't have any staples (just dissolvable sutures and glue - yay!). Everyone is different, but I thought the surgery was pretty darn easy. My biggest fear was catching one of the many colds that were flying around the office and having to deal with coughing - but that never happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexsmom34 0 Posted March 12, 2008 It is totally doable. I was not working whan I had mine done and I was back on my feet cleaning my house in 3-4 days. So, if you do not have to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk for a few weeks you are all set. Get it done, I thank God I did... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jujubee 0 Posted March 12, 2008 I'm having my surgery during my one week spring break. They just said to not carry heavy books for the first few weeks back to school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
