I took off one week and am working from home a week. I feel like I could go back now. The issue will be exhaustion from lack of food. Best advice I saw on here was to go back on a Wednesday so you can start with half a week in case a full week is too much

Might depend on your type of work but I was sleeved 12/27 went to work 1/2

I took 2 weeks off. Which was perfect for me. I was only in pain, sore, and tender for a lil over a week. By the time I went back I was painless, and full of energy.

I took my full three weeks I was exhausted then I went back to work that Monday and passed out from dehydration. I had to get IV fluids and then took a day off per doctors orders and went back that Wednesday

I'm so glad I am not the only one who struggles with fluids not being able to down a cup of Water like before surgery it makes water hard to incorporate all day long

I took 6 weeks off and have an office job. I had some complications and overall feel blessed that I had the full 6 weeks to work on myself without having to go to work. Don't rush back!

I was given 4 weeks, I probably could have gone back after 3

I hope I have the same results as you. I will be off 2.5 months (Summer-I work in a school)

I thought I would only take 3 weeks but seeing as I'm always dizzy and tired I decided to take another week or two. I hope to go back when I'm on solids.
