I was going to take 5 days everyone is telling me I should take more. Waiting for the doctor to let me know! What do you think?

I'm taking 4 weeks, my procedure was sept 26th. My follow up isn't until Tuesday. I couldn't imagine only 5 days. I would think at least 2-3 weeks. The pain isn't horrible but getting a grip on everything takes time. At least I think.

I just noticed we are about the same height/weight combo. I'd love to follow your progress! Lots of luck and well wishes on the journey ahead!

My doctor recommended two weeks. My surgery is on the 10th. I'm only taking off two weeks so I guess we will see. I hope it's long enough :-)

i took 3 weeks as my doctor ordered could have gone back sooner if i had a desk job but i drive a truck and there is physical work involved

2wk minimum. sometimes the anethesia is still in your system for a few days. I would request enought time to be prepared for complications, even though we pray you don't have any. I went in hoping for the best, but I was prepared for the worst.

Mine is on the 15th amd I took off 3 weeks. If i feel better sooner I can go back.

I took 2 1/2 weeks. My doctor wanted me to take 2 more, but I had to promise him that I would only sit and not do anything else!

my superpower is......

My doctor folder me I would be off for 6 Weeks. I wonder why so long.

Depends what kind of job u have. I am a stay at home mom and didnt have to go back. But i didnt feel 100% myself until 30 days post op. If u have a desk job and no complications I think u could swing it at 2 weeks post op. Good luck!

Mine wanted 5 weeks, so I took it. It helped me get my mind right about eating before I went back to work ( where a lot of bad eating habits got started)

Good luck to all you "LOSERS"
