How much time to take off from work--WORRIED!



Recommended Posts

I am taking off 12 days (including weekends) for my surgery. Is this enough time? I am so worried because after taking those 12 days off i will have used most of my time up. I have already posted a question on here about how much time to take off but i guess i need reassurance if you don't mind. I don't want to postpone the date if i don't have to. I have a desk job and elevator to use too.

You'll be absolutely fine! I was back at work on Day 10 post op (desk job w/elevator use also) - other than some residual sleepiness, I was pain-free and good to go!

This will very depending on what kind of work you do. I went back to work at about 2 weeks post op and I am a paramedic, fortunately I do primarily command level instead of front line so while I had to do a little physical work that first week mostly I was doing desk and giving orders so it was fine. Good Luck.

My sleeve date was 6/26. I've been off since 6/25. My recovery is going well but I think I am going to stay home through this week (14 work days). I had to drive 400 mile each way to surgery, Dr.kept me 4 days and I am 56. I have a desk job but it is sometimes stressful. I am also short on time but thought taking it off now fully resting and getting my routine down might pay off in the long run.

I feel like I could have gone back to work today (surgery on june 28. )!But since I work in child care that isn't really possible... I can't lift on 2 year olds all day... So I'm taking a total of 3 weeks off of work total...

I ended up taking several weeks. The surgery part was no problem but being tired and weak from not eating was my problem

I had surgery on July 1st and back at my desk job today, July 8th. I think it all depends on what you do and how accommodating your job is.

I had my surgery on a Tuesday, and returned to my desk job full time the following Monday. I used 4 sick days. I felt fine. I probably could have returned on that Friday.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
