I was curious how long most of you spent in the hospital after surgery? How long before you went back to work?

I spend 4 days and I am off for 6 weeks

Two nights in the hospital, 2.5 weeks off but could have used a more time off due to energy level.

I night in hospital & had mine over the holidays so I had about 3 weeks off...but I felt good enough that i could've gone back in a week if it wasn't a holiday & we were off anyway.

Was it easy to do light housework right away? My husband works out of town most of the time so I wonder if I will need a friend to stay with me.

My surgery is Monday and I was told that I should not plan to lift or do much house work for a couple weeks. You should have some one with you at least for the first week. I plan to go back to work in a week...I hope...Good luck to you.

I was in hospital for 3 days, and off 2.5 weeks. For the first week to 3 weeks you won't have much energy for doing housework or anything else for that matter.

I was in for two nights and went back to work a week after surgery. I have a desk job though. No energy and napped when I got home. No house work for a while I am just now back to normal energy and surgery was 12/18.

Good Luck

I am coming home alone and several in here did too and told me they did fine.

One night in the hospital and went back to work 3 weeks later. The only restrictions were not to lift anything over ten pounds, so because I have large dog I couldn't walk him. The three weeks was perfect because I was able to get into my new eating routine without being distracted at work.
