Wondering how long to plan to be out of work post-surgery. I am having the RNY laparoscopically, and I am trying to give my boss an idea of how long I might be out of the office. I do computer work with little to no lifting or physical activity. Any ideas?
I am out for three weeks.i have been pain free now for the last four days. My surgeon did not want me back to work until I was at the pureed/soft food stage.Wondering how long to plan to be out of work post-surgery.

So my first two days back to work were crazy, I went on a field trip the first day and that included alot of walking and an hour drive there and back, but I survived, but now work is the same as it has always been, just trying to get my fluids in, have to remember to always have my drink in my hand, I started drinking hot caffeine free tea during the day, that goes down really nice, I do love water but it was getting old, I still drink water but not as much,I go back to work on Thursday, I will let you know how it goes, although I have changed my sleeping habit, going g to bed later and sleeping in later, Thursday probably won't be the best lol
I don't think I was allowed to lift more than 25 lbs for a month, so maybe you can go back sooner than the boss thinksMy boss won't let me come back to work until the doctor releases me with no restrictions. He's estimating up to 2 months. I think it depends on your healing time and how hard is your job.
