Going back to work?

[Seraphina Valentina 9]

I know everyone is different but can some of you tell me how long you think I should stay home after surgery? I mainly sit at a desk all day but will I even feel like doing that 3 days after LB? I am having surgery on a Friday and going back to work on Tuesday. My doctor just says everyone is different and needs are different. Please give me your thoughts and advise. Thanks!

It took me about a week after surgery to start to feel normal. Mainly I was tired and sore but I work at home and sit at my computer. I did work a few days after surgery but not much. take the time to heal . Drink as much as possible and walk around the house. Heating pad works well for gas pain in your shoulders. I really did not have much discomfort so I am hoping you also have a easy time. Take Care.

My surgery was 12/29 and I had planned to go back to work tomorrow. There is no way that is going to happen. Everyone is different. I've heard of people going back in 3-4 days, some people go back after a few weeks.

I had surgery on a Friday morning and returned to work on Tuesday. I did not have any problems from the surgery but was really tired for a few weeks as I adjusted to low calories and very low carbs.
