Time off work
Hi everyone,
This is my first post. I was just referred for bariatric surgery and from research would be having RNY here in Ontario. I have sitting job as a medical office manager and wondered when most people are able to go back to work. My job is not very strenuous and I would like to plan my time off. thank you

I took 2 weeks off and worked from home for 4 weeks after... if you can work from home do it.. but do take time for you
TWH: Referral May 2015 --> Orientation November 2015 --> Surgeon at TWH Nov 2016 --> Transferred to Guelph --> Surgeon Appt Dec 1 2016 --> Opti Start Dec 8 2016 --> Surgery Dec 22 2016 HW: 331 SW:302 GW: 170
I was off for 2 weeks then went back part time for 2 weeks. First week back I worked from 9:30-1:30 then the next 9:30-2:30 then full time that next week.

I was off for 2 weeks and went back to work, I also work in an office ... it was tiring some days but I made it through ok. I was happy to get back to the routine of work.

So far 80 pounds lost!
I was told and provided a note by my WLC to have 4 weeks off to recoveWLC
I returned to work today and ended up putting in extra time already. I feel fine.
Truth be told I felt like I could have returned after 2 weeks but the issue isn't how we feel but rather to provide your internal digestive design changes to heal fully. 4 weeks is perfect for that.
Dont ru**** if possible.
