So I have been interviewing with a company and if all goes well next Friday, the company will invite me onsite for an interview. I'm 11 days out from surgery. At this point, I don't think I'll interview onsite prior to surgery. My question is how soon after surgery do you think I'll be 'good enough' meaning have energy and not look like someone beat me up, to sit through a 3 hour interview? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? I can't push it out too long. Help!!!!

3 weeks

Everyone is different, but I went back to work at two weeks full days.

Yeah, two weeks and I’m ready to start work again too.

Oops . I was wrong. I’m one month post op and still feel sick too often to work.. so I’m not going yet.

I will be one month post op next Friday and haven't returned to work, my follow up with the doctor is this Wednesday some days I feel ok and other days I don't. What does your doctor say about returning to work?

I don’t have my 5 wk apt with my doctor until the first week of November. I’ll see what he says. But regardless I definitely have very bad days. So I’m not ready for work... I think after major surgery it’s okay to take time off , if we have the means to do so.

I see so many people only taking 2 weeks off and ask myself what's wrong with me
