Time off work for surgery

[Nesa 51]

I work for a bank I have to use a weeks worth of vacation then they will pay the rest of the time I need off. I haven't told anyone yet at work that I'm getting sleeve they know I have a hernia and that's about it.

Unfortunately you can't really count on anyone else's experience. But I went back to work on Monday after having surgery on Thursday so not even a full week off. Monday was somewhat difficult because I was sore but by Tuesday i really felt pretty good just sitting at my desk.

Mine is a traveling job, and doctor didn't want me lifting anything over 20 lbs for a month. So I took 4 weeks off. Fortunate to work for a large company with good benefits. Took a week of sick time, then 3 weeks of fully-paid medical leave.

And, because my next project hasn't started yet, I have been home an additional 2 weeks, "working." Looks like I'll be here another 2-3 weeks. Actually I'm a little bored, but trying to enjoy it because once I am back on a travel schedule, it's 4-5 days a week travel -- and exhausting!
