I know it varies by person and your type of work -- but what was the length of your hospital stay and the number of weeks out of work?

My job is a desk job.

And I am specifically asking those that had the Gastric Sleeve procedure.

Thanks

One night. One week off. I was fine to go back after a week.

One night in hospital and back to work in two weeks! I have a week left until I return to wrk!

I had an afternoon surgery so stayed two nights in the hospital. I was back to work in 2 weeks and 5 days. Not sure I would have been ready to go back earlier but I work on a college campus library and campus was closed almost the entire time I was off and I went back the first day we reopened. I only had to use 3 days of leave total.

Hospital stay 2 nights . I'm a sahm and I was "working" about a week later

2.5 days in the hospital and 2 weeks off work. I had surgery on a Monday and felt fantastic by that Friday...still a bit sore, but good energy and got alot of walking in. I did tend to nap quite a bit and took it easy overall. A wonderful recovery overall.

i was 2 days in the hosp and i took one week off. i have a deskjob too and i survived but you should really consider 2 weeks off if possible because you will be extremely EXHAUSTED

I was in the hospital for 2 nights. Off 4 weeks, physically I could have gone back sooner but I have a mentally taxing, very detailed job and I felt mentally fuzzy so I took longer than the 3 weeks my Dr. recommended.

In the hospital for about 18 hours after surgery. Surgery on a Friday, back to work the next Friday. I am a vet tech, so on my feet 10+ hours/day, bending, squatting, lifting, etc. I had to keep my lifting under 20 pounds for 3 weeks, but other than that I was fine. Energy level a bit low since I was on liquids only for 3 weeks, but got better once I started adding pureed fruit to my protein smoothies. I'm partners in a small veterinary practice, so if I don't work, we don't make money. No such thing as paid time off for me. The 7 days I took off included sat, sun, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so I only had to actually miss 3 days of work.

I wanted to go back after two weeks but my doctor would not clear me. Did not want me to push it. I will be out 4 weeks.

I was out 2 weeks
