Working stiffs, how long...

For those of you that work full time, how long after the procedure did you go back to work? I'm not sure if I took off enough time.

Thanks, as always.:rolleyes

I guess it all depends on what you do for a living

I am in the office most of the week sometimes I travel but I planned my traveling around my surgery. My customers understood

I had my surgery on Tuesday and back to work on friday of that same week

+Good luck

I work as a Direct Support Professional (similiar to a nurse aid). I took ten days off and was still pretty sore when I returned to work, but felt fine after 14 days total. Best of Luck!

I had surgery on a Tuesday and answered email that day from work. I worked from home the rest of the week and returned to the office on Monday. It was easier to work from home so I didn't have to worry about finding clothes to go over my swelled belly.

I have an office job, but stayed out of work for 2 weeks due to the gas pains in my neck. The surgery itself was not bad.
