how long before returning back to work?

ive booked a week off work for my operation, im worried this will not be enough, i was advised as i work in admin a week would be long enough… how long did everyone take before re-turning back to work?

Hey i have a really physical job. I had 18 days off then back to full duties. I was fine. I had unders from completely flat!

Just make sure u rest loads and sleep loads in ur week off. U should be fine, ul just get tired easily xxx

hi, i work in a call center (so not strenuous at all) work allowed me 2 weeks off sick at the advice of the surgeon, but i could have easily returned after 1 week. you will be fine providing you are not doing anything strenuous xxx

I also work in admin and I couldn’t have gone back after just 1 week x

i might save some more holiday and book if needs be or get a sick note for a few extra days. my job doesnt course me any hard lifting or continuous movement so i think maybe a week would be enough.

I went back 7 days po had unders but I’m a travel agent so sat on my ass all day anyway x

I work in care my job is quite physical ive had 4 weeks off i will be returning to work next week x

i think a week will be long enough as i sit on my ass to lol xxxx thanks for all the advice ladies

what size did u have and go to?? im still undecided on 460 unders

I had 460 unders with mr kazzazi stopped painkillers day 2 that’s how good I felt n no complaints so far which surgeon u having I am really happy with my experience n surprised how easy n pain free I found it but everyones diff x

yeah i have mr kazzazi tooo i met him for the first time on tuesday he seems really lovely and really carmed my nerves. what size are u now then if u dont mind me asking? and what size was u before? x

Ooh when’s ur op n are u at park hill I was a 36b n I’m in my Macom at min but have worn a d sports bra to but just prefer Macom n I’m only 3 wks po this fri so not been properly measured yet will add u chick xx

I have 4 weeks holidays booked off after my surgey . But i am a Midwife so quite a strenuous job. xx

4 weeks is probably a good amount of time as your job is constantly on the go where as with mine i just sit on my ass all day lol, most lifting i do is carrying tea to my desk lol. my op is the 21st Oct lexie. i think i will stick with 460 unders aswel as im a small B now xx

I booked off 2 weeks and my boss phoned me yesterday and told me to take another week off I’m a hair designer in a busy salon and my boss thinks I will be better having the extra week so now need to go on the sick. Xx

yeah if ur a hairdresser then ur constantly using ur hands and that could cause irratation so another week could do the world of good. my job just involves me sitting at a desk so i should be fine after a week. have u had ur op then? xx

Thankfully i have 8 weeks a year holiday.. and as im only having surgery in March i am using 2 weeks this holiday entitlement and 2 nxt years which starts in April..

im cabin crew and been advised of 2 weeks off!!! hopefully ill be ok by then!! x

I have office job, had a week off and was fine to return to work, any longer inwoudl have gone stir crazy doing nothing!

I went back after 2 weeks, I don’t think I could have coped after a week. I only work in an office but I was feeling really faint at 1 week. Think everyone is different xx

Hi hun i would at least wait till uv had post op appt, n make sure uv healed well and feel up to going back hun and then decide cos every1 heals differently and nurses will advise u den and u may be able to get a note from dem 4 few extra days xx

I spoke to my manager yesterday shes given me next week off and that i return to work beginning of the week after so that wud make it 5 wks off im goin crackers bein at home but i have got a physical job so got to be careful x

I took 2 weeks off went back yday n wish I could of had moretime. I work in a call centre but I’m so tired n achey from sitting up. Eventhough I had no pain from mu op at all xx

I went back after 2 weeks and I ached a lot at my desk,I think been sat in the same position dosent help,xxx
