School after surgery

I am a college student and how everything has panned out I will be have surgery the first or second week of classes. I know I will be tired and at class you are just sitting the whole time. And I will be in the same building so not a lot of moving even though I know I need to walk!! Anyone go back to classes like 3-4 days after surgery. Trying to not miss all week of classes if possible!!

Thank you ????

I had surgery on a Wednesday and was planning to go back to work on Monday (I have a desk job) but I was so tired and couldn't make it in. I had zero energy and felt pretty "blah" overall. I did half days at work the first week post op. I'll be 5 weeks post op tomorrow and I've still had a few days where I had to leave work early or come in late.

This is just my experience. You may bounce back much faster than I did. Best wishes and good luck to you!

I am a current student and almost 4 months post op. My surgery went very well and have had no complaints whatsoever. For me, I had surgery on Tuesday and could have been back in class on Monday. Lucky for me, I had surgery in July so class didn't start till Aug. Everyone is different, but I hope that you don't have to miss too much class cause I know how impossible it is to catch up once you've missed too many days. Good luck!
