I am an account manager, total desk job. I was curious how long others were off work due to their surgery.

I work from home, when I'm not traveling. Desk job of emails, spreadsheets and conference calls while at home.

I technically took no time off. I worked the morning before surgery and the next day both at the hospital and once I got home. I didn't travel for 2 weeks, and then at 3 weeks post op started work travel and have traveled nearly weekly since.

You are one tough cookie.

What is it that you do? I think I remember you mentioning trunk shows, so are you in the design/crafting industry?

I took three weeks off. I was planning on returning in one week but there was no way. I had zero energy and could only eat a thimble full of food. Don’t rush it. Take your time give your self time to adjust to this new lifestyle. Even after going back it took a while to get my energy back

A week, back slowly but back in a week

Wow I m off for a month

I have a desk job and took 6 days off. I had trouble driving to and from work for a couple of weeks. I would feel dizzy and had severe motion sickness while driving. I wish I would have taken a couple of weeks off and not toughened it out.

I took 3. My job involves walking/standing for 3 hours in the morning and sporatically in the afternoon. I took 3 weeks off, 2.5 might have been enough--those last few days I was like COME ONNNN xD

I also have a desk job and had RYN. I had my surgery on a Wednesday so I took obviously the rest of that week off and the following week. I didn't have any issues returning when I did. You may feel tired and still may be sore but not to the point it will interrupt your day.

I had my sleeve last Tuesday and returned to work today (Monday). I am feeling fine and have lots of energy. My only problem has been drinking enough water.

Bless all you people who went right back to work. I had my surgery Monday and I am wiped out. I am definitely working from home next week.
