Hello,

New here..still in the info gathering process.

I was wondering how long were you on leave from work? I'm sure it varies by doctor but would like to get a general idea.

Thanks in advance!

Sleeved on Friday, back to work (desk job) on Wednesday. Worked 'til 2:00 Wednesday, Thurs & Friday, but then back full time on Monday.

Sleeved 9/17 back to work 9/24 also desk job

i will be 8 i have a desk job as well

4 weeks. Still have 1.5 to go

Three weeks. My choice, doc would have let me go back in one week. However, I'm glad I stayed off that long. Liquid in, liquid out. Almost uncontrollably. That cleared up just a couple of days before I returned.

I had surgery on Wednesday, September 26th and took off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from work. Today is Monday and I'm back in the office and feel pretty good with only a bit of soreness in my neck and the largest incision in my stomach.

was sleeved on 9/7 and was back to work on 9/17, but I have a desk job.

Cool....Thanks for all the responses!

I wonder how long it would take someone who is a CNA (certified nursing assistant) or someone who works in retail and is on their feet all day?

I'm assuming that a a CNA one would be involved in heavy lifting? I'm a nurse and my doctor told me 6 weeks off. And I'm gonna enjoy each and every minute

I'm a nurse, and I took 3 weeks off. It was perfect. My doctor suggested 2 weeks off for anyone in healthcare, if you're getting single incision.

I believe I am going the lap route

Why do you believe the lap is best for you?

Not judging ... just curious

Others, please do not judge the responses, this is a personal decision.

Perhaps they meant laprascope

lol yes I meant Laproscopically..... I was just being lazy :-) I'm hoping not to go the long open incision route if at all possible.
