Personally I think two weeks is too short. If you're having the full DS, you are having MAJOR surgery (even if its done lap). It will take the first week just to get all the anesthesia out of your system.

I took 4 weeks off - I probably could have gone back to work after the 3rd week. When I did go back, I went back part time for two weeks. I realized it was exhausting just getting up, dressed and ready for work.

With the DS you're re-learning how to eat - what you can eat, what you can't. Getting your water in. Learning how to introduce your vitamins, making sure you're getting enough protein.

IMHO the first couple of months are a true learning experience.

But worth it all!

Hello.....I'm scheduled for surgery 7/9/19, and wanted to get some feedback. The good, bad, and ugly. What kind of advice could you give me? How was your recovery? Where you able to go back to work within 2 weeks
