How long was everyone out of work?

Hey I'm just starting my process to get WLS and I also just started a new job and was wondering how long everyone was out of work for?

Since I just started this new job I dont want to be out of work too long I was hoping I could go back after a week or week and a half at the most? My doctor said 2-3 weeks though...did anyone go back to work after a week? Keep in mind I do have an admin assit. position so I am mostly sitting with some walking.

I am also an admin assistant and I took a week and a half off. I've been back to work now for 2 weeks and it's going ok. I get exhausted throughout the day but it's ok.

I'm a mail carrier and have to dead lift 70 lbs.... 5 weeks for me and I'm easing back in the next two weeks, only working one or two days at a time. I'll be going back with all those Christmas packages and military trunks.
