Is it reasonable to believe i can go back to a semi physical job 1 week after surgery? I haven't had surgery yet I'm just curious if I will have to take more time then a week off which means I would have to postpone my surgery until I get more vacation time

@@vegas_mimi I didn't read the other responses but I had surgery on a Tuesday and was back at work the following Monday. My surgeon doesn't approve for more than 2 weeks out of work. He wants you up and going as soon as you can because he said it helps you heal faster. I didn't have any issues - so I was fine but I do have a desk job.

@@Charisma - I saw your greek yogurt post. I will say that I can easily eat 5-6oz of yogurt (5 months post-op) but if I eat 3-4oz of chicken I am totally stuffed - like I know my limit stuffed. You will get to that full feeling but for me - yogurt never made me feel FULL. I hope that makes sense.

I was told 4 weeks off.... My company has short term disability so luckily I will get paid.
