When are you having surgery? If you had surgery how long were you out of work?

I had RNY surgery July 2014 and had a great experience with my doc and all the nursing staff at the hospital. I went home on the third day, a Wednesday. I went back to work on Monday (desk job) and only did part time the first week. But while tired at the end of the day i really did feel good! Pain was practically nonexistent. There are some who take 6 weeks off after surgery and all i can think is, why? Obviously there are those that have complications, but I really do think that the quicker you try to move and get back to a normal schedule the better you'll feel. I also tend to think that much time at home gives you too many opportunities to think about food, what you miss eating, etc. Just my two cents. Good luck to you!
