How long after op can you go back to work? Need advice

Hello ladies, I’m looking to book my ba for feb but just curious on recovery time as I don’t have many holidays left from work? All stories will be appreciated xxxx

Hi chic. I booked 7 days off and had the wknd swell. Then went back to work for 2 days had the wknd and went another day. I am now on sick leave for the rest of the week as my boobs were hurting I was drained and my boobs were swollen. I didn’t plan on going sick but it takes it out of you. Good luck. Xx

Wen did you have ur op julieanne? I only have a week, I’m just worried that’s not enough time to recover. Thanks xx

I’ve taken 3 weeks off my job as a carer in an old folks home but I’ve only taken 2 weeks off my job as a practice nurse. Totally depends on how demanding your job is, some lassies have taken a week off and been fine to go back to work x

Do u mind me adding you Katie? Did you have ur consultation in Glasgow xx

Yeah no bother. Aye im having my op in Glasgow nxt week with Andrew Hart. What clinic will u be going to? X

I took a week off cos i didnt have enough days off for more, should have gone as sick really cos going back so soon was awful. If i was doing it again i’d defo take two weeks off xx

Yeah i took 2 weeks off (sick/recovery time) and MYA provided me with a letter for my work saying that it is advised to take 14 days off work and it doesnt say what type of surgery you have and they even gave me a copy without the letter head too so my boss cant snoop too much lol so i got full pay too. i would defo advise taking at least 2 weeks off. If i had holiday i would have taken 3 weeks off. Last week was my first week back to work and it was hard! i was so tired and boobies we super sensitive still.

I was gonna take full paid sick but im applying for a different job at the mo and didnt want it on my record. Hsve to say going back aftdr a week was a major struggle! xx

4 weeks for me.. x

Aw that’s gd mya printed that letter for you jellybean, I think I will ask them for that aswell , my works full of gossips! I’m not sure how my boss would feel giving me sick pay after the op. I will need to take a weeks hol then probs go on the sick if I’m not up to goin back. Thanks for ur help girls xxx

haha! yeah mine is full of gossips too lol. Good luck with everything missc x

If i had sick time at work it would be majorly frowned upon. SO i am using near Annual leave..

I no I wil probs be the talk of the town goin on the sick but I don’t have enough annual leave left, and I’m determined I’m gettin them done before march lol hopefully I won’t be in much pain and can go back after a week ! Fingers crossed xxxx

Fingers crossed.. Im a Midwife so lots of bending stetching ect especially during pool deliveries so 4 weeks for me.. x

I went back exactly a week after my op

I could have gone back 4 days after my op.

I went back to uni day 6.

I work at customer service for tesco.

Doesn’t sound demanding but it is there is a lot of carrying and reaching and running round the store!

Everyone is totally different I had unders so should ‘texhnically’ be worse as its a more

Abrasive procedure than overs!

But I think I could be the luckiest girl on here xxx
