I just finally got approved after a battle with insurance. I've seen several threads on here about this but I wanted to be more specific.

My job/ins. Benefits are ending in less than 6 weeks. I need to have surgery asap really but at the same time have to be interviewing for a new job. I'm in HR and have desk job. Some meetings and slight lifting and walking. But how long did you take off? Did you take off too long? If you had office job- was 2 weeks enough time to heal?

Thanks!!

2 weeks off. Desk job. Sleeved 12/21. I set reminders on my calendar to remind me to drink fluids and got up and walked often.

Had surgery Dec.10......will return to work on Jan.23.. I wanted to make certain my life was almost normal before returning.

And how fun is it going to be to walk into the office for a "big reveal"!???

I go back tomorrow. 2 weeks. BUT, Ive been bored out of my mind. Lol. But, I tend to over do things so I know I needed to take it off.

I took off a week but it was too much!

I'm an RN in a hospital -12 hour shifts. There is no " taking it easy" at work for me. So my Dr. recommends 6-8 weeks. Luckily it's paid by my disability insurance so I plan on taking all 8 weeks.

I took two weeks off but I could have gone back to work (I'm a network engineer) three days after I was discharged from the hospital.

I'm taking 5 weeks. I'm a chef and on my feet all day. Also lifting heavy pots is not an option to take the risk of hurting myself.

I took two weeks off, I could have used more though as I was severely anemic and lost a lot of blood which slowed my strength and recovery time.

I was out for 3 days.

How did that work were you okay??? When did you go in to hospital, when did you leave the hospital.

Delta girl did you do w-f and the weekend i dont want to kill all my vacation or a lot of questions at work.

I'm in hr as well and I took 3 days off, worked from home another 3 days and then went back to work. I was pretty exhausted at the end of the day, but getting back to normal was a big help.

I'm taking 2 weeks off. I sit at a desk all day don't wanna feel uncomfortable. Surgery schedule for 2/19

I had a laproscopic procedures. I work a desk job. Took off 1 week.

I have a desk job and took two weeks. I probably could have went back at one week as I had no pain from surgery but I was so tired for 3 weeks post op. Glad I took those two weeks to rest. Everyone is different though.
