I know I have asked this before. But the love of everything good, I can't find it. Lol

So... Would you guys be so kind to entertain me which how long you took off work, and if it was enough or wish you took more.

I'm meeting w Hagan on Monday, hopefully will be leaving w my date and note for work. No shame in saying it, I will happily take the longest amount possible. Would he look at me like ok nuts if I ask for 8 weeks?

Dunno, he told me I could go back after a week and that there are no lifting limitations.

Seems the information is all over the map.

I know at the orientation the dietician stressed not lifting over 5 pounds, I asked Hagen that, he said not so.

I took 6 weeks.. In all reality I would have been okay to go back after 2 weeks.. Albeit tired... My brain was not focused for a few weeks and I needed to be mentally on my game...
You can take 6-8 weeks

I was originally I was going to take a month off, but I ended up taking 6 weeks because I wanted to be on a regular diet before I went back. Hope that helps.

I took 8 weeks, it was available, nobody griped and I was all the better for it.
