Heal Time??

For those who have had the surgery, what's your heal time? If you have an office job, are you comfortable enough to go back to work after a week? What about driving?

Everyone recovers differently, i had my sugery on friday, and was back to work on Tuesday...with one stippulation...youll have to where loose clothes and a sports braw with NO underwire.

Good luck

I had my surgery on Wed was driving on Saturday and went to work on Monday at a desk job.

If you have a desk job, a week off should be enough. I had surgery on a Friday and was back to my normal routine by Wednesday.

Im a waiterss at a downtown restaurant I was banded on a wenesday and was working a full shift Saturday. But I'm also 25 with a medium to high pain tolerance. I'm now almost 2 weeks and now just a little discomfort at the port site.

You can't drive while you are taking the pain meds. I didn't drive til about a week post op because it was uncomfortable sitting behind a wheel.
