On average how long is it before people return to work?

I'm scheduled to return to work on July 8 but I probably won't need tht much according to my surgeon. I've heard ppl going back in one week.

About 3-4 days after is good

My surgery was on a Monday Morning...by wed. I had to get out of the house and do something, Thursday and Friday I stopped into the office for a few hours...everyone though I was nuts because who comes into work during their vacation?

Following Monday I was back full time....I was also cleared at one week to go back to the gym, soak in hot tubs, do just about anything but the heaviest of lifting....

Everyone is so different in how they heal and the way their body recovers. I took a week off and then I worked half days the week I returned. I have a desk job but I would get very tired and was not sleeping through the night.

My surgeon told me 2-3 weeks. I took 3.5 because of when my surgery date fell, and how my weekends fall. I have a little over a week left, and I'm glad I took all this time. I haven't had any issues whatsoever, but the rest was necessary. Honestly, I don't know how I'm gonna wear a bra when I do go back to work; one incision is right where my bra lies. It's so uncomfortable. Since being off, I've only warn one when I left the house LOL.

Everyone is different, but I'm glad I took this time off
