How long were you out of work following your surgery?
There is so much information to read here! I've been reading for days and days and still have a lot more to go.
One question I don't seem to have seen answered is how long are most people out of work following their surgery? I know everyone is different, but I'd like to have some idea of how long I'd be out following surgery. I'd like to do this on my 2 week vacation and then go back to work. Has anyone done this before?

Wow..your surgeon recommend 8 weeks! I'm like you...I'd probably need to get back to work before the 4 weeks.
Do you think your exhaustion due to the surgery or were you unable to consume enough protein?

Really I think it depends on your job...are you sitting at a desk all day? Is it high pressure/ emotionally draining? Is there heavy lifting or prolonged hours of physical stress?
I am a teacher so i took 4-6 weeks with an open window to see how I felt...you won't know how quick you heal, post-surgical complications...whatever better to go back early than late. i went back at 5 weeks.
