The recommendation was two weeks off work. I was off for a week and worked from home for another week. I do not recommend rushing back to work. If you’re not a twelve-month employee, try to do it during the summer or during a time when you otherwise have two weeks off.

I'm wondering the same thing. I had surgery 10/10 (Wednesday) and supposed to start working from home for a week on Monday. I have a desk job but as of day 3 post op I'm not sure if Monday is going to work for me 😬

I took a full 2 months off for both my WLS's. The first time was due to a long drive and I wanted to be 100% sure I could deal with driving for upwards of 3-4 hours in 1 stretch. This last time with the bypass I took 2 months because I knew food would be a different experience, so I wanted time not only to heal, but to get into being able to eat and figure out what foods would cause what reactions. Everyone is going to be different, I could have gone back, pain wise, after the first 2 weeks, but with the massive diet changes and the lifting restrictions, I opted to play it safe and stay out longer.

I was off 2 and half weeks and felt that was the perfect amount of time for me. I have a desk job.

Hi, my first day back to work is tomorrow. I took 2 weeks off. I actually feel great. The first week post surgery was a little rough. Other than that no issues.

Do you know how to post something on the timeline?

[Frustr8 7,886]

I run off a phone app and things are limited there, but perhaps MattZ or someone else who is on a computer can help.They are trying to bring up The app standards closer to the computer ones.
