I was banded on Thursday and went back to work on the following Monday. I work in an office at my husband's company so I went back with the stipulation that I was going to listen to my body and go home and rest when I felt it necessary. Looking back, I definitely jumped in too soon and should have taken at least one week off completely. I think because of that, it took me a little longer than most to finally feel "back to normal". I say, if you can take the time do!
