VSG - How long did you take off from work?
Three weeks of medical leave, then an additional week of vacation (4 weeks).
I was in no hurry to return to my office, but was feeling physically fine after two weeks. Maybe a little tired, but could have returned earlier.

First of all, congratulations! You must be super anxious/excited right now. The time between now and your surgery will probably feel like forever but just know that every frustrating, liquid-slurping moment will eventually all pay off eventually.
So to answer your question, the amount of time you are taking sounds perfect. I had surgery on Tues, 8/26, went home on Thurs., 8/28 went back to work the following Thurs., 9/4 and had to go home after a few hours. I took the next day off and went back to work on Mon., 9/8. Basically, listen to your body and do not rush yourself. GOOD LUCK!
