I have to go back to work part time (4 hours) 4 days after surgery, do anyone know if I will be able to wear a suit with the drainage? I understand that si a very short period of time but I have an extremley important proyect I have to oversee

If it's a normal recovery and if the project only involves talking and pointing and no physical, manual type work other than walking.......... then recover at work or recover at home......same difference. Take the pain meds and see what happens. Keep in mind, there is no way of knowing what your recovery will entail beforehand. Alot of "ifs"

Plus, on meds you might be a little fuzzy.........I hope the project isn't an Air traffic Controller or Pharmacists or the like .....?!

Sure I felt like I could have gone back to work the next day

Good lord, I had to go back after a week and it almost killed me. However, I was able to get off pain meds after the hospital. Only used Tylenol after that. Good luck with that and remember your body is healing after major surgery. Be kind to it.

Thanks for your replies, of course I am assuming a favorable recovery without complications. I have a desk job so typos are the only risk.

I went home without the drain. They removed it right before I left so you might luck out and not have it. Take it easy and make sure you have your liquids at your side. Good luck!
