Hey yall,

I'm meeting with the doctor next Wednesday and i am so beyond excited!!! My curiosity is killing me and i was just wondering how long you're out for after having the surgery? I've read '2 weeks' quite a bit but then I hear ab some people going back to work after 1 week! Any info would be appreciated

Thanks so much in advance!

I am curios about this as well. I am hoping to be out for a week. I reach cake decorating I teach 2 classes a day and I can't be out more than 1 week. However classes are only 2 hours and I get to go home after the first one and then come back in the evening.

Lets see how it goes.

i am taking a month off.for one because i have a buttload of sick time.and for two i wanna be fully recovered.i dont wanna get sick at work cause i ate too much of didnt drink enough water then havinf to leave work.i do hear alot of people go back after a week but thats just not me.i want to make sure im good to go.

Lucky you have all that time!!! Wish I did too bc i thought ab that, what if i get sick at work!?!? How embarrassing. But oh well just gotta stay positive and push thru I'm sure

yes stay positive.everyone recovers different.another thing everyone who sits around me orders out to eat daily:!lol.i dont wanna be teased like that :-D

I have taken off 4 weeks unpaid (I have family that will help support me during this time financially if I have any issues). My surgeon said 4-6 weeks. I will be about 5 weeks out when school starts again, so I'm hoping I will be prepared to do my clinicals 6 weeks from surgery date (Nursing school). I figured if I gave myself more full recovery time I would be better prepared when I have to start back up my classes. If I want to go back in the middle of the 4 weeks my boss would be more than happy to give me hours, so we'll see.

I just took 8 weeks FMLA from my job. My position was saved and I got 100% pay. It's one of my benefits. I work for a payroll company.
