I realize everyone is different and our jobs vary, but trying to get a general idea of how long I will need to plan to take off from work. Thank you!

I have an office job and I was out 1 week.

I took six weeks (not that I needed to...but I could)

My surgery was Monday, I had the whole week off and I'll be back to work on Monday. I honestly thought I was going to be back at work on Thursday but I'm glad I decided to take the whole week because even today I still feel a little soar. But I'm an administrative assistant so I don't have to do any heavy lifting or anything like that I can get the guys I work with to do all that stuff. Well I do that on a normally anyways so no biggie! :-)

Good luck with your surgery and congrats

I sit at a desk most of the day and I had to take 3 weeks off. It was very uncomfortable to sit for a few weeks due to sore muscles in my abdomen. I also had a hernia repair so that is another reason why I took longer to get back to work.

I'm a home health speech therapist which means I'm in and out if my car all day. I originally planned to be out 2 weeks but after driving myself to my doctor's two week post op appointment I realized I needed another week off. I probably even should have taken 4 bc my energy level was very low. But the pain was gone by then. I do alot of bending and sitting on the floor and carrying kids so that's why I needed 3 weeks off.

I am a kindergarten teacher and am attempting to go back Monday. That will be 11 days total. Hopefully I'm ready!

sleeved on a Tuesday, back to work on the next Monday. On my feet for about 10 hours. I cook for a living.

I took 6 weeks cause I'm on my feet and lift a lot.

I took a week, but when I took in my note to return to work from my doc, they told me not to come in the next day...they closed the doors. Soooo, I've been off 6 weeks lol.

I work from home, desk job. I took 2 weeks off but easily could have went back after a few days.

Im taking 3 weeks off. I drive around all day, and Im gonna be in and out of my car and in the sun. Not sure if that makes a difference, but I dont want to be hot and feel weak. We'll see.

6 1/2 weeks. I'm on my feet 12 hours with lots off lifting. It depends on your job and situation. Sme people who work at a desk

Job took 1 weeks my hats off to you all. I won't complain.

Good luck

I had surgery on a Thursday and was back to work the following Thursday doing desk job tasks ...then the next Thursday I was back on my feet a little more and more at work... The beauty of laporoscopy!

I was off for about 10 days and I felt fine when I went back.
