Time off from work?!

How long do you think I should take my time off? I hear a lot of people go back to work in a few days after I'm curious !!

    I was sleeved last Tuesday and felt good enough to go back to work the following Monday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying these two weeks off!

  • I took a month off work. I do a lot of climbing and lifting at work so my doctor wanted me to take more time then normal off.

    I will have to do a mandatory 4 weeks off of work, per my surgeon.

I took two weeks. I could have gone less, but what the hell, I had enough sick time.

I It was originally going to take One week off but the surgeon suggested two weeks... Some people go back after one week and some take the whole month or so off.. It really depends on how you heal and how you feel

I think it depends on how physically demanding your job is, but I have help with the kids for two weeks, I am a stay at home Mom.

I'm planning on taking a week, but I took 2 weeks off work so we will see!!! June 24th is my sleeve day!!!!

I took one week off.

Maybe ill do two weeks I do a lot of moving and lifting at work hope that's enough time

I work in an office so I took a week off. Well, I worked from home. If you do move around a lot, two weeks may be better. However, you can have some extra pain two to three weeks after surgery when you start moving around more because you're pulling on the stitches.

Im planning on taking a month, just to heal properly & take some time to adjust & get used to things..
