How has this worked for some of you? Were you actually ready to go back this soon? When did you noticed you were ready to do more and more daily activities?

I went back to work in one week - I was tired by the end of the day; however, it wasn't a big deal to go back to work - I was out grocery shopping the day after coming home from Mexicali - so 4 days after surgery - and although I tired easily, that was the only physical issue - no pain, no trouble walking, etc. Many were ready to go back to work sooner -- I can't imagine how bored I would have been being off work for 2 weeks!

I went back yesterday which was my one week mark, and I managed but then crashed. I usually work about a 14 hour day but I did a 6 hour day and a minimal job at that. It is so individualized. I wished I would've given myself a couple more days, but it really depends on what you do and what you can afford. Good luck!

I'm yet to be sleeved (5/6), but my plan is to have it done one a Thursday, recuperate through the weekend, and then work from home for a week. I've got all this cleared with my boss. Of course, I'm lucky enough to be able to do my job (I'm a programmer) from home, so I can go and lie down or take a ten minute walk when necessary. After a week, I'm figuring I should be well enough to go back in to the office.

I had my surgery on Wednesday, March 17, and went back to work on Monday, March 29. That was plenty of time for me. In fact, I could have gone back Monday the 22 if I'd needed to.

I took off 2 weeks from work and the opportunity to rest was perfect. Still got tired easily due to lack of calories, but it gets better.
