Time off from work?

So, I'm having the DS November 20th and as soon as I found out the date, I put in for 2 weeks off, because that was what I thought I would need. Problem is, I work in retail and the time I've asked off include thankgiving week and Black Friday, which is mandatory where I work. So I've got two questions. One is two weeks enough, and two, How long did it take you to get back to work. Oh, and work for me during this time would be 4 to 7 hours on my feet, running around helping customers, which I don't think is safe, do you guys?

I had the realize band done and took 2 weeks off work. I work 12hr shifts in a hospital, lifting, and pulling and moving patients and linen (I'm a CNA) so its fairly strenuous (sp) work. I was a little sore when I started back but I did fine and have had no problems. You should be fine, just take it easy if you can.

I just had RNY almost two weeks ago on the 31st and i went back this wednesday, a week a half out.  I also work in retail but not on my feet that long... I think you will be fine with two weeks just remeber to keep sipping water! and dont lift heavy items.  Good luck!!  -tori

hey girl,  i was back to work and school 10 days after my RNY. but i  do desk work so i don`t know how r u gonna feel working on ur feet  for 8 hrs. u may need the full 2 weeks.  just make sure to take it easy and have some watter with u all the time. u should be fine.
hugs.

well I had Rny so it might be different. But I only took a week off and i was fine, a bit sore but good to go, keep in mind I work from my desk. Good luck with all

4 wisdom teeth pulled Monday, RNY Tuesday, back to school (university) that next monday (6 days) and back to work the next monday. So I think you should be ok. Just take it easy, and explain to them you cant lift anything heavy or something. :)

 I was out five weeks because that's what my surgeon suggests. 

i was out 3 weeks, if they give you crap cause of the holiday pull out a doctors note.  they can deal, you need to take your time and heal. you may be ready in 1 but you never know. i thought id be back to work in 2 but it just didnt happen, i needed that extra time.

good luck! <3
