How many days off from work post-op?

I'm curious, how many days off from work did your doctor recommend you take off for recovery? When did you feel ready to return to work?

I know that it'll be different for different people and for different jobs, and it also depends on what the doc says. Mine is kind of vague as of now, only saying I could be off anywhere between 2-8 weeks.

OMG, I am so jealous. Seriously, if I could do it over again, I would take a month. I was an overachiever and came back after 2 weeks. Unless there are serious financial reasons, no idea why I pushed myself for a job?!

30 days

That's what I was thinking I will do, maybe 10 days. I'm aiming for labor day weekend also so that there's an extra "cushion" day, so to speak, where my whole department will off.

Exactly my plan with Labor day. We are only allowed a week of vacation at a time so I will be back at work the next week. My job is fairly physical but my boss was sleeved 8/2015 so she will work with me.
