Surgery Scheduled For April 23rd

I was just wondering how soon everyone was able to return to work. I am having surgery on Wednesday and hope to be back to work on the next Monday. I am hoping I am allowing enough time for recovery. I am an accountant so no heavy lifting ect to worry about. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

I was banded yesterday morning and I was able to do some work from home today. Make sure to walk every hour the first day and you will fell much better. Day two is when the muscles start to ache so again walking helps. I hope day three is better. Good luck with your surgery, it really wasn't bad at all.

This was alos a concern of mine, I am a RN and hoped that taking a week off of work would be enough time. I can be on a lifting restriction at work till I am all healed up, but the majority of my work is not lifting. I guess everyone is different and their recovery time different. Just wanted to hear some other people experiences

Thank you

I have seen in other posts where some people have been out only a couple of days, while others take off several weeks. I think it depends on the physical requirements of your job as well as personal pain tolerance and any meds you might be taking. Good luck!

You should be fine as long as you don't have any heavy lifting. Good luck!!
