How many days off is really needed?

Hi girls, ive been recommend to take 3weeks off work but will i really need? If i feel fine do use not think it would be be ok to go back to work earlier rather than being bored round the house? Feed back again please:D x

What do you do? x

Spa Therapist x

the way i feel 2days post op if i was a spa therapist id be soooo glad to get 3 weeks off! r u having unders hun??!! xxx

No im getting overs love and i believe that is not as soar as unders! How many days off have you guys taken? x

oh well its a different story if ur having the overs blondie sorry 2 ask u again but i forget wot every1 is having haha! im on maternity leave at the moment so not back at work for another 6weeks! stayin at my parents jus nw so i have help with the kids only until monday tho when my mums goes bk 2 work! dreading it tho still cnt lift my 5month old xxx

Haha its ok dont worry! I will ask you in 2weeks if you feel like you could go back to work even though your on maternity, to give me a rough idea haha! Oh no im sure you will be fine though, a lot can change in a couple of days, just keep taking it really easy until your mum goes back to work:D! x

I had 17 days off cause I had mine on a Friday – I wish I could have taken longer!!!

I work in an office so was at my desk most of the time. I can imagine it would be harder for u but I did have an uplift and unders!

I was only able to drive for more than 5mins today – 3 weeks post op! Xxxx

I had overs and could easily have gone back to work after 4 days. But I only do an office job. I was never in pain but my chest muscles ached like I had really overdone it in the gym. It was probably about a week post op when that started to wear off. Xxx

Thats good to hear devilishem hears hoping i am like that too then:D thankyou x

id say 2-3 weeks is about right, I took 2 weeks off uni but wasnt doing much manual stuff with my arms so yea 3 weeks would be best love xxx

I could NOT have gone back to uni after 4 days….Day 4 ish was the WORST for me pain-wise, All depends on what pain ur in too and what ur pain threshold is

hi blondie, i had overs and a very good recovery, no pain at all. Work in an office, and went back on day 9 (only 10 mins from home, and drove myself with no problems). Don’t think i could have done anything more strenuous than office work tho’ Do you do massages, etc? If so, 2/3 weeks sounds about right hun x

I think I was very lucky with my recovery, I know some girls found it a lot more painful than I did. Everyone is different! Are you able to take 3 weeks off but go back earlier if you feel able to? There is no way of predicting how easy you will find the recovery. Xxx

oh god i hope i am ok to go back after 7 days! i have office job and dont do any heavy lifting and i know the girls at work will help me. i cant really have anymore time off as i am going away for 2 weeks 5.5 weeks after op on holiday!

i have booked mine for a wednesday so that when i do go back i will only have 3 days rather than 5 to cope with!

I know im quite worried now that 3weeks actually wont be long enough because on an average day i do 5-6 massages, which is a lot work and is very tiring! But oh well screw work if i find im after 3weeks im to soar to be doing all these massages i will just take more time off….. At least i will have my boobs:D x Is there any spa therapist had a BA please let me know x

i know people who have had overs and only needed a week off, im having unders and ive been told to take 2 weeks off
