Going back to work

Hi girls, I’ve got my consultation booked for next week in Newcastle but just wondering how quickly everyone went back to work after surgery? I work as a waitress in a very busy bistro and just wondering how much time off is wise, I don’t want to push myself too much afterwards but also don’t want to take too much time off from work! Thanks for your help!

I’m only having 1 week off but I office work. I know most people have 2 weeks in jobs like yours xxxx

I work at sainsburys cafe in sunderland and i took a week holiday but my first day back was when i was 11 days PO, which was yesterday, but i couldnt have a better bunch of people to work with they wouldnt let me lift anything or pull anything pretty much on till and barista, i kept getting wrong for carrying trays and things lol, if your place is busy take 2 weeks off, you shouldnt be carrying trays of food for hours on end either, or scrubbing table after table, even tho its elective surgery they still have a duty of care xxx

@leigh1988 aw that’s good that you work with such an understanding bunch of people! I haven’t discussed it with my work yet and I’m a little worried what they will say, given how busy we are, but hopefully they be understanding!

Let them no as soon as, i only had 4 weeks from being accepted for the finance to my Op so they wernt happy! lol, but i work will all girls theyve all been asking how my boobs are lol xx

I’m a self employed hairdresser I have giving myself 2 weeks off just to be safe. Xx

I’m going to take a week off (when I eventually book it as it’s still research and a secret!) . Hoping that’s enough although I work with kids so I may regret it but actually can’t take more than a week off at a time.

I work in my local B&Q right now so I’m going to take 2/3weeks off at least as i’ll be lifting a lot of stuff whether I’m on the checkouts or in my department (paint)…

I’m a hairdresser and I had 2weeks off.. Everyday got better after the first week. So you should be ok. Just don’t lift to heavy plates take your time more.. And don’t over stretch I had to ask people to ask me to get colour from the rack (only 5″2) couldn’t reach much anyway haha but didn’t want to over stretch my stitches. xx

Thank you everyone for all your replies! I thought 2 weeks would be right with my line of work, but even so I’ll just have to be so explain to my employer I can only do light duties, no carrying heavy trays of drinks!! X
