Returning to work

Ok so after reading here I am concerned I may be rushing things a bit. I am scheduled for surgery on the 13th and return to work on the 16th. I know that is short but after all the issues I have had prior to surgery I don't have any more leave to take. All I do is sit all day so I am not concerned about that part I am just concerned that I will be in too much pain to actually come in. I have the freedom to get up and walk whenevery I want so that wont be an issue either.

Will I have the energy? Will I be in too much pain?

I had surgery on a Monday and went back the following Monday.  Although I felt great when I went back, I don't think I could have gone back after 3 days.  Not necessarily from pain, but I was exhausted and just felt bad in general.

I returned to work 1 week after my surgery.  I work from home on a computer.. I was tired but it was doable

I was good to go by then. I was fine the next day actually. I did walk around to release gas but it was quiet for the most part. You might need to stock up on gas X for at work. He He  Other than that, I would be surprised if you were not up to it by then. If you had a hard, physical job, then maybe not but for an office type job, you should be good to go.

Good luck! It's a great journey!

I took 5 wks off... I have a stressful job not physical and I needed my rest

I had my surgery August 6, 2012 and was released the next day. Once home I passed out twice doctor said I was not getting in enough fliuds.. I thought I would be able to work that Wednesday I could not move. So today is Friday and I feel great! I get very tired easily and out of breath. So I'm getting my walking in around the house and down the block with someone on my arm. I will say if you can take off work do so.
