How soon can I go back to work after my sleeve surgery? I'm freaking out because I am getting sleeved on a Saturday and have to return to work two mondays from there so basically I only will have 9 days off is that enough?

Someone in my support group was sleeved on a Monday and returned the next Monday. Her job was at a desk I'm pretty sure though but I hope this helps!

It depends on how physical or sedentary your job is, as well as how you recover.

I had a partially active, partially sedentary job as a nurse supervisor at a hospital when I was sleeved. I took two weeks off, but could've gotten away with returning after a week since my recovery was uncomplicated.

I'm a desk jockey who can work from home when I need or want to, but -- Surgery was Tuesday, discharged Wednesday around 1 pm. Worked full day from home on Friday. Went into the office and did a full office day on Monday. Really depends on you, how you deal with pain (if you have any) and your work.

My husband's cousin is a surgical tech and took 4 days off work. Her husband took a week but he has a more physical job. Everyone recovers and reacts differently. I plan to take at least a week, just in case.
