If no complications, you should be fine with 2 weeks off.

I was stir crazy after a week and a half.

I took a six-week medical leave. I was sleeved on September 28 and I return to work on November 14. A lot of people go back sooner, but since I had the ability to be off (short-term disability at 100% pay), my doctor and I felt it was important to devote myself full-time to not only recovering but working through the food stages and getting my Protein and fluids in.

Everyone's situation is different. Every time this question gets posted, there are a wide variety of responses, and many people will be quite passionate about their view on it. Just get ready for that. My advice is to take the most time off that logistics and finances will allow. We all have one chance to get this off to a good start, and at 36 days post-op with another week plus of leave left, I can tell you that I am SO glad that I have taken this time...

Thank y'all
