Ok so i have been approved..yay for me lol...and the date is set for March 21, a little nervous, but now i have to give notice to my supervisor, my doctor said i would need a week off for recovery, seeing that i dont do heavy lifting at my job, im an administrative so im at my desk 90% of the time. so my question is how long of a recovery time will i need until i get back to work, assuming no complications arise? All advise welcome.

I would take at least 2 weeks maybe 3. The first whole week you feel really bad. The second you feel a lot better and the third you will feel really good. I have a heavy lifting job so I am taking 6 weeks off. The doc wanted me out at least 4 weeks before I lift anything substancial. So I had the short term time and I took another 2 weeks for extra healing. I think you will be good with 2weeks but if you really want to be safe I would do three..

I was sleeved on Monday and went back to work Friday - NOT RECOMMENDED. Like Syltx3 recommended 2 or 3 weeks.

I took off 2 1/2 weeks but not cause I needed to but rather cause I wanted to. . . 1 week would have been enough as per doctor, but 2 1/2 was better. . . I returned rested and feeling good. .
