My surgery was 1/21. I am taking off 2 weeks, using vacation days. If I had to return tomorrow (one week) I would be able to do so. The added week of rest will be helpful in healing. Pain and energy wise I could go back tomorrow.

I don't have enough vacation time nor sick time available.. Can I get disability if I take more 2 weeks off?

My doctor suggested two weeks but due to the fact that I run a company he said I should take one week off to make sure I get all the Fluid intake and concentrate on my post op care and the following week I could go back to work but only half days. He said his fear is that I will get too tired to be stranded at work so he suggested that I could get a ride into work and have my husband pick me up about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and go home to rest.

I am having my surgery on a Monday and I am returning to work the following Monday. Thankfully, I have a job where I can choose my activity level and I have a helper if I need to take a break.

I had surgery on the 14th and went back to work today (2 weeks off). I am partly walking/standing and partly sitting. I could have gone back last week, but would have been tired.

Spoke to HR and they said its up to doctor and me. If I'm off more then two weeks then I will qualify for FMLA... I have my surgery next Wednesday and starting my diet as of today. The doctor took me off for two weeks just to help me with the transition period from liquids to soft foods... Good luck everyone!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
