When Did You Return To Work?

Good Morning,

I am hopefully going to head to surgery sometime in the fall. My doc requires a 3 month supervised diet. I have a very flexible job, and can work from home if needed, as long as I can have access to my computer. So my question is- when were you able to sit at a desk, and most importantly drive?

Thank you for all of your answers! It seems like a mixed bag.

How did u go back??? Wow I do nails and work in a salon and needed two weeks. I'm three weeks out an wish I had more time!!

Hi well ulitimatly i had to get back to work .I work for myself so in a nut shell if I dont work i dont get paid,, I have staff to fill in but then i am out of pocket paying extra wages,,but if I had the time and money to stay off for longer I certantlly would... in saying that tho i seriously felt fine going back,, a little bit tired this week as I am back full time doing my 10hrs a day but still ok to go for my evening walks,, but i feel great still,, and i do takes breaks at every opurtunity and sit down when ever possible... I just hope that i can contiue to feel this good.. I go back to the docs for my first check up since surgery and hopefully he says everything ok...

I was sleeved on a Wednesday.. and went back to a desk job on Monday. on Monday and Tuesday I only worked 1/2 day.. after that.. full time like normal. I had a VERY easy surgery, had no real pain and no gas pains... so I may have been the exception to the rule..
