For those of you with an office job, how long did you take off work? How long after did you return to work? I am hoping I don't need more than a few days off. Thanks

I am an office worker and my surgeon told me to take two weeks off which I did. I could probably have gone back at 10 days but chose not to rush it and I am glad that I didn't.

I felt okay from the actual surgery after about five days but I knew from experience that it always takes me about a week to ten days to feel normal after a general anaesthetic.

Fortunately I have the work from home option. I was out of the office for one week and worked from home the second week. No way was I in any shape to go back to work in 'a few days'.

I was banded the 4 Th of June & Still recuperating. Go for first office visit in two days.

i was banded on april 24th and went back to work on june 10th.. altho for me while i am a desk worker i also work in an enviroment that anything could happen and the dr wanted me completely healed before returning. that said i felt good after 2 weeks to start going out long periods of time,... (before it would just tire me out)

I have a sit down job too so I thought I could go back in 3 or 4 days. No way! I went back a week later (surgery Monday, went to work on the next Monday) and I was very weak and tired. That was probably from lack of calories. About 2 days later I felt much better and able to get through the day.
