I will be banded on Feb. 13th and am worried about needing to take too much time off.

How long until you went back to work? If possible, what kind of job, i.e. desk job, etc. I'm in sales and need to run around and carry my briefcase which can be kinda heavy.

I have a desk job and I took a week off from work and then the next week was my Thanksgiving Holiday vacations I had scheduled off:smile:. I would say after 7 days you feel much better, however after about 10 days I was 100%.

I went back in one week, but going to work today, realized that I should have taken the second week. I was banded two weeks ago today.

I have a really bad head cold that I know I got from the office, and that is making me miserable.

I was banded on Monday and went to work (desk job) on Thursday. However, the day I was banded my dad was diagnosed with cancer and so I spent the day after surgery and the next day (until I went to work) at the hospital. I was sore but was able to keep my secret from my extended family. When they saw me moving gingerly they asked if I hurt my back. I told them I had actually just had a hiatal hernia repaired (which was true). No more questions and they still don't know.
