    How long are girls recovery really? When was anyone able to go back to work? I’ve booked 5 days off but it works out as 10 days including weekends and bank holiday!! But I’m worried encase I have to take more time, is that enough do you reckon?? xx

    It varies for each individual. I originally booked off around 10 days, I ended up having just over two weeks off work because I struggled to move my arms and lift. I’m a nurse through so my job involves lots of movement, you may be okay depending on
    Your job? Xx

    Hey! I’m 4 weeks post op on Saturday!! I’m a hairdresser! I took two weeks off and left my third week open but I took the third week off! SO glad I did I honestly wasn’t ready to go back after 2 weeks!! My surgeon told me not to blowdry for 6 weeks but I have been and been fine!! However I literally can’t bring myself to lift boxes of stock as I’m too scared loool! Just remember our job is really tough on your body and be careful 🙂 xx
