Hi guys just wondering, how long did it take u guys to go

Back to work after surgery? I have my surgery on 08/25/2014 that falls on a monday. Will be in TJ MEXICO until that friday and was thinking of going back to work the following week monday is that too soon? I sit on my butt all day btw

I had my surgery in Mexico last Tuesday, and I went back to work today (Monday) with no problems. I have a desk job, too.

_{I had my surgery on a Fri. I went back to work the following Wed. My work is not strenuous but requires a lot of walking sometimes. I bought a back brace to support my stomach. I only used it for the first few days back at work.}

I had the same surgeon as sndgord53....had surgery in TJ on a Friday. Was back to work (active job, on my feet, lifting, bending, squatting, walking) by the next Friday. I had a 25 pound lifting restriction for three weeks, but was able to take care of all my other duties.

So good to know! Would love to schedule surgery in October, but can take only 1 week off from work (office job, no lifting), but was going to wait until December so I could have surgery around the 13th, and then have the 2 weeks off at Christmas. But Christmas isn't the ideal time to be recovering from surgery...

I thought I would be good in 1 week boy was I wrong I ended u taking 3 weeks. The gas is bad afterwards and sore

I planned my surgery at Christmas time because it was the easiest to get off work for me. With travel I was gone a total of 8 days but only missed 4 days of work. Then when I did go back, I had the weekend and New Years to break it up so I I didn't have to jump straight into a full 6 day week.

I took off a total of 8 work days

I originally planned on taking a week and a half, my surgeon really wanted me to take two weeks so I took his advise and I am glad that I did, mostly because I was surely enjoying my time off. I didn't take it easy so to speak, I walked and walked etc.,

Ohh man well i guess everyone is different.. Good thing i have two breaks and lunch and im able to walk around the building if i have gas pain! Im sooo nervous i have no idea wat to expect ????
