Back to work- WHEN?

I have changed my surgery from VSG to RNY. I am wondering how long everyone was off work? Or, when you felt like you could have returned. And what do you do??

I am going in on Valentines Day and I have a desk job. I have taken 2 weeks.

    I had laprascopic gastric bypass and returned to work in 6 days. I own and operate 3 restaurants.

    That is great to hear! I am also in hospitality, but most of my work is back of the house. Thanks!
