Time Off?

meeting surgeon on wednesday. Hoping too get accepted for surgery. Just wondering from other peoples experiences(and i know everyone is different) How much time should i take off from work before going back to be completely healed?

I took 8 weeks, I have a job where heavy lifting is required. I also wanted to return when I was on regular food. My dad saw me 3 days after my surgery and said I looked like I had nothing done lol. Take each day as it comes, each day you will feel better. I haven't had any regrets regarding surgery the only regret was not doing it sooner.

Wishing you the very best on your upcoming surgery.

Some people take a week, most take two. Others take a lot more time off. I was fine to go back in a week.

I have a desk job so I took two weeks off, but I could have went back after 1 week

Desk job here and I went back after 3 weeks and had a complication. I wish I had taken more. But, I worked through it.

Desk job and I am taking 6 weeks off.

Thanks for all your responses. I dont have a desk job but think i can only take 2 maybe 3 weeks at the most as i am a single mother. Financially speaking. thanks again.

i took 8 weeks. you will be super tired. Take it if you can.
