Im wondering if anyone cut it as close as im going to need to and how they did. I know everyone recovers differently- just looking for some averages here. I am a retail manager and can only take, at the most, 11 days off work. Was anyone else back this quickly? Im reading all the post op threads here and getting a little nervous!

I am a retail store manager and had my procedure done on a Monday and was back to work the following Monday. I really had no issues other than being a little tired, by my 3rd day back I was working my usual 12 hour days.

I work from home teaching internet classes and I took two weeks off. My biggest problems on return to work were sitting for long periods hurt my abdomen and concentration, concentration was definitely harder! I think you will be okay !

I have an office job and could have gone back to work in a week or so. I chose to take off 3 weeks but I was definitely restless and eager to go back after 2. Recovery is different for eveyone but I think you should be fine.

I am a one person cleaning crew at a 225 unit apartment complex.

I ended up resuming very light duty 2 weeks post op. I didn't have the stamina to resume my full duties so I had to have help. I also was on only liquids until week 4 post op tho, so it's possible that my lack of stamina was because of that.

I have an office job. I took 1 week & 3 days off. Still suffered from soreness in the large incision, but the moving around helped.
