recovery time

[gjoni63 0]

hi...i'm starting the process of possibly having the lap band surgery. I'm wondering what is the average recovery time to get back to work. Would like to know how much time I would need to take off from work.

Does depend on you and your job.

I teach…I had my surgery on a thursday and went back a week later….I probably could have gone back a day or two earlier but glad I gave my mind and body some time to recuperate and rest…after all….it is surgery!

Wishing you all the BEST!

Guess depends. I had my surgery on a Saturday. Went to work on a Monday, crashed that night. Resumed on Wednesday no problem

I'm an attorney. Took 2 weeks. But I have 2 very young children. I'm glad I took 2 weeks. Could have done 1 week maybe. I would take at least 1 week off

I had surgery Friday, back to work on Monday. I was a home health nurse climbing in and out of my car all day....wouldn't do that again. I needed at least one more day.
