I know everyone is different but how long were any of you off from work?

Thanks

I do not work outside the home, but the week following my surgery we began remodeling my DD's place, and I was out shopping, and working on things there that did not require lifting or stretching much. I think most on here have been up to returning to work within the week or 2 following. It mainly would depend on the type of work you do.

Good Luck in your research Dawn, and welcome to LBT!

I had my surgery on a Tuesday and went back the following Monday. I could have gone back on Saturday if I worked weekends. I have a desk job, so no problems with the lifting or anything.

Hi, I had surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. I was tired, but other than that I was fine.

Everybody is different, so if you have any kind of flexibility on your time of it would help. I think it all has a lot to do with the condition you are in to start with. I know a lady that went to work the next day. But she is crazy anyway. lol

Good luck to you.

Hi! I was banded on Monday and tried to go back on Wednesday....Bad idea!!:eek: I ended up taking the whole week off. When I returned the next Monday, felt fine!! Don't push it. You need at least a week to recover well.

I was banded on a Thursday, took the following week off and went back to work the next Monday. I had a lot of pain and nausea the first 3 days and didn't really feel better until one week out. After that, I felt a little better each day, but I didn't have a lot of energy. At about 2 1/2-3 weeks I felt 100%.

banded monday worked that friday.

if i could have i wished i could have had that friday too. i was SOOOOO tired!

I was banded on Thursday and ATTEMPTED to go back to work on Monday. BAD IDEA. I just didn't do well for about 2 weeks..... lots of nausea and weakness. Then after 2 weeks, I just bounced right back and have felt great since! BEST WISHES!

Banded on Monday, work on Thursday, riding 4 wheelers all day long on trails on day 10. Everyone is different just heal at your own pace. There's no award for trying to do things too soon.

took a week off. Didnt need but a few days!

My surgeon said 4 days but I took a week before I started exercising .

I took a week off. It was just the right amount of time for me. I'd say the first three days are the hardest.
