How long before you could go back to work? (desk job/non physical)

[M579 19]

I had the surgery Weds and was discharged on Friday. They kept me in an extra day due to nausea and pain. But I was very motivated to get back to work in order to save remaining PTO days! So I am working from home this week and it is going fine. I need to stand and stretch more but no issues. So for me I took a total of 3 days off.

I had my surgery on a Monday and was back at work the next week as well. I sit at a desk and felt great. The tummy band helped a lot that first week back at work. I tried to wear loose clothing like skirts to help.

I had surgery on Wednesday and went back the following Monday. I would have liked at least that week off, not because of pain but I still felt tired and a little groggy. Other than that it was great.

Surgery on Sept 13. Went back to work full time the following Monday, Sept. 19. Even did my football duty Friday night the 23. Tired but not unreasonably so. I have a desk job luckily I don't have to teach any longer.
