How long off work?

I am having my surgery on the 29th of May and I am wondering how long most is you were off work. I just do a desk job. Please fill me in. I'm planning to go back on June 10th. Is that realistic?

    This is a great topic... I was sleeved on a Thursday and I worked from home the following week, dialed into meetings, email, etc. So technically I only took 2 days off from work. When I did go back

I am only taking 7, so I hope that is enough! Thank you!!

I scheduled two weeks off tentatively, although I have been working from home (emails, etc.) most of that time...I was going to go back half days this week, but I just don't have the energy yet...tomorrow I start on soft foods, and I am hoping I will regain some of my energy...physically I could go back tomorrow with no problem--it's just the low energy level, plus mentally I am challenged right now being on a liquid diet and being hungry all the time--just don't want to add the stress of being at the office to the mix...and I am fortunate to have the time off available with pay

I took off for 4 weeks just because I could and drew 90% of my paycheck. So why not milk it? lol. I could have went back after a week but to be on the safe side you may take 2 so you have a routine down.

I had surgery on a Wednesday and was back to work on the following Monday. I was fine, but everybody is different.
