Hi guys, I’m having surgery on Thursday. What is everyone’s thoughts about when to return to work. I’m a billing manager and I spend my days at my desk punching numbers, no heavy lifting or anything. I can do some work from home but I’m still curious as to everyone’s thoughts? I know people who have taken two weeks off, some have taken a week and some went back after like five days. Please share.

I was sleeved 4/2nd & I went back to work on 4/9th. I have a sit down sedentary job , no heavy lifting. I had no problems returning to work at that time.

I took off 6 weeks as I had disability insurance. Think it depends on the person. I had a desk job but it was very demanding I would not have been able to get my water and protein in.

I had vsg on 4/10. My surgeon only likes to give 2 weeks off to every patient. I literally had to beg for 1 extra week off. I definitely needed it.
