How long did you stay out of work

[SleeveG 31]

I was sleeved on 9/6. I was back at work on 9/19. I was expecting to be wiped out in the evening but I have been feeling surprisingly good. ( I have a desk job)

O wow! MY JOB CONSIST OF ALOT OF MOVING PULLING AND STANDING....

Any physically active job like yours needs at least 4 weeks. I took 4 but recommend 5 or 6

I stayed out for two weeks. It was a bad decision I should have stayed out longer. Exhausted after work and I did not give my body or my mind enough time to heal and adjust to my new life my words of wisdom to you take your time this is an entirely new process that you will be living with. good luck

2 weeks but could have gone back to work after one week. I was mostly tired for a month or so after.

I had my surgery on Thursday, took off work Thursday Friday, and went back to work Monday with very little lifting. But that was me it varies on different people.

I went back 4 days later. I did feel sore but that's about it. I felt back to normal 3 weeks out. I think me being active and walking around made the healing process faster. Staying in bed or at home longer than a week would drive me crazy.

Kind Regards,

Jenn

At day 4, I was good to go back too but didn't. I preferred relaxing at home reading this forum and other sources. It's an exciting time for me .

I have an office job in a hospital and I'll be going back after two weeks. I was sleeved on Monday 9/19/16 and I am feeling wonderful. It truly depends on your job and how you're personally feeling. If you think your job will take too much out of you, better to opt for more time

If you have a strenuous job I advise you to take 4 to 6 weeks
