Hey guys, I'm a little curious to know how soon after surgery did you went back to work and started doing chores around the house.

I have a desk job and went back to work after 10 days.

I initially took 3 weeks off from work but because of a bacterial infection I'm off for another week till it clears up. As for chores ar home, after day 3 i was doing light projects that i never get a chance to do while working. Every day since day 3 i work on something and also either get on the treadmill or go for a walk for over an hour daily.

I think it helps you to recover quicker if you stay active.

Good to know

Aww sorry about the bacterial infection and thank you for sharing[emoji4]

I took three weeks off (I had a desk job - I'm now retired), but I could have gone back after two.

I took off 12 days but could have easily went back after a week. I have a desk job but I'm on my feet most of the day.

I have a desk job also and spend a lot of time on my feet. But honestly I think I could go back in two weeks too.

2 weeks, but no lifting.

I work remotely but I work a lot of hrs each week. I went back to work the same night on 7/25 - the date of my RNY.

lol..not sure if it is strength and/or the fact that 1) I was under a huge deadline as well as 2) It helped me to stop thinking "when will this gas pain go away" after all other measures to rid myself of gas had been exhausted

@KarenLR75 You are strong regardless of the reasons, there is absolutely no way i could have gone back at 5 days much less the same day. ???
