Time off work

Hey everyone,

How much time did you take off from work? Did you feel like you were ready to go back before your scheduled return date?

Seeking answers for either VSG or RNY.

xoxo

    I had VSG surgery on 2/27, worked from home on 3/2 and went into the office on 3/5. I was a little tired at work and took pain meds at night before bed.
