Going back to work- recovery

Hi girls!
I’m just wondering how long it was before you all went back to work?

but also how long it was till you stopped being in as much pain and returned to life as normal?

and when you could move about freely again?

I work as a teacher in a reception class so my job is very active and very physical and hands on.
I am hoping to have my op as close to the start of a 2 week half term in hopes of giving myself at least a week and a half bed rest before returning to work, however as a teacher you absolutely cannot take holidays outside of holiday hours so it’s worrying me a little.
I’m on my feet all day and bending up and down all day. I can hopefully avoid lifting any of them by just being down at thier level and hoping none of them manage to badly injure themselves (which i hope doesn’t happen anyway).
and I’ll put off any display work and classroom rearrangement until I’m feeling 100%

but I’m just wondering when you start moving freely and being up and about properly without pain?
I will also have to take PE lessons etc and do daily action rhymes etc…

I know everybody recovers differently but just hoping to hear abut your experiences and recovery!
thank you!

just bumping this back up!

I went back to work after 10 days but sat on my desk so no moving involved….. At 2 weeks I was nearly back to normal….. 3 weeksfnesrly fforgot I got them done……hope your recovery will be an easy one…. Good luck hun x

thank you hun! im so worried i wont be ready to be back at work! xxx

Hey huni af my uplift n implants I went bk to work within 8 weeks as the uplift was a big job also I worked n bar to using my hands 2nd I had replacement of an implants and bit of uplift and went bk to work within a week this time 2weeks with implants replacements and nipple lift I work for sports direct in the delivery team which my job is making sure we get out shock in and out which is lot of work with your hands and was fine xx

thanks hun! so do you think i should be fine with a week and a half bed rest to return to work?x

Hey huni you should be fine asking as long you have a got really good strong sports that’s the key that’s wots I did xx

As long that was bloody iPad lol x

I’m wondering this too. I’m a makeup artist and doing a shoot 8 days after having BA and I’m having partials which I know can take longer to recover from… Doing the makeups I’m not overly concerned about although it will mean holding my arms up for a certain amount of time. But I am concerned with pulling my kit around and lugging it in and out of my car…think I will have to get my husband to drop me off and pick me up so he can do the lifting for me. It will be a full days work so I hope I’m up for it as I can’t let people down
What does everyone think? I want to be able to move as normal as I can so no one guesses why I’m moving about funny.
Vanessa, what placement are you having? Hopefully you will be fine as long as your more cautious and take it steady, when’s your op?
Xx

Hey Abbie partials placements are not to bad as its only the top of the implants under the muscle so you should be ok but take care you girls should be ok just buy a good sports bra the ones i get are £38 but small price to pay if they are up for the job x

I’m a mobile hairdresser and beautician I’m taking 12 days totally off then back to work for 2 full days avoiding heavy lifting then taking 4 days off then back to work as normal. I’m self employed and can sometimes wrk 12hours a day normally 4 days aweek so I am going to try n take it as easy as pos. don’t want to be set back if I over do it. Alex I’m going for 1 of those running bras tomorrow. From marksys.:-) xx

I’m going back to work 1 week after my op (having partials). My nurse said this would be ok..I’m only working at a desk so should be fine but worrying now!

I went back on Monday 16 days post op. I have 2 very physical jobs one working with a child with behavioural difficulties and my other is cleaning in a secondary school where I buff floors all night. I found it ok just had to adapt techniques and have a fab work colleague who has helped me and took over my floor buffing.
