Going back to work... just to be 100% certain...

I think I read this before, but I want to be sure.

From what I gather, my plan to get surgery on a Thursday and go back to work the following Monday should be fine. Right?

Because I was just on lapband.com FAQ's and it says the average is a week before someone can/should return to work.

I have a desk job and it would probably fine to wear sweats or something equally comfy to work (and bring a pillow etc).

Does surgery on Thursday then back to work on Monday sound like a good idea or bad idea?

I was banded on 6/24 and planned to be back at work this past Monday. There was absolutely no way I could do it. In fact I am taking the rest of the week off and I'm so glad I'm doing that. Today is the first day that I actually feel a little more human. Hopefully tomorrow is even better.

Good luck to you!

Well my dr wanted me to wait till monday the 7th i had my surgery on the 30th but i told her i need to go back sat the 5th she said ok hope im up to it
