Post op surgery pain question! :) (how long out of work?)
on 6/24/15 10:42 am
I was off work for about 8 weeks and then did a gradual return to work over the course of another 4 weeks, and I have a desk job. I wasn't in pain or feeling sick so much, but I had a difficult time getting my energy levels and my cognitive function back up to par. My case is probably different from most though because I was dealing with anemia, sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, and I found it very difficult to keep my protein up.
Everyone is different, but from what I've heard from other sleevers, most people are back to light work duties within 2 to 3 weeks. It just depends a lot on any pre-existing medical conditions and your ability to get the vitamins and nutrition you need to bounce back.
Hope that helps, and good luck with your pre-op prep and surgery!!
