Time off work?

Hi everyone,

I haven’t had my op yet, booking soon! Just trying to decide whether to take 1 or 2 weeks off work? I work part time as a retail assistant.

It would be great to hear how much time people recommend to take off?

Im the same, im not sure if i need 1 week or 2. I think it just depends on us! how we are feeling. Im gonna go with one as i only work in call centre x

I’m having unders and was told I could go back to work after one week as I’m a receptionist.. Also said I would be able to drive after one week as well.. Think I might take 2 weeks off though just to be on the safe side!

I had 2, 1 week off holiday then had to take 1 week off sick. I’m a dental nurse. I could prob have gone back on the Thursday but thought I might as well take the rest of that week off

I had week half off but I was back to my sejf day 5!

I’m a travel agent and I’m only allowed a week off hope that will be okay? Xxx

Thanks everyone, still deciding how long to take off. I was thinking maybe 10 days?? How did everyone tell work they was having surgery??

Its better to book to much time off than not enough. I was told by my pco 10days would be plenty but I’ve booked 2weeks off to be extra safe. Xxx

Im day 7 today hun and I could definately 100% go back to work today if I had too, luckily I dont as on a year maternity leave but ive manged to clean my house this morning do the washing etc and I feel completely fine no pain at all xxx

I only work part time, I do about 4 lots of 4 hour shifts a week, as I’m a student. I’m having my op in the summer holidays. But because I only do a few shifts a week I’m wondering if 10 days would be enough? I’ve already booked 2 weeks holiday a couple of weeks before my op, so I feel cheeky asking for 2 more weeks off for this op! X

What do you work as Sarah if you don’t mind me asking?? 🙂

im a retail assistant too and im having a week xxx

You could be okay at 1 week post op but I’d say 2 weeks to be on the safe side it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I own a salon huni. On my feet quite abit and using my arms constantly ( esp for massages ect). The only good thing about being ur own boss…no1 can tell u off lol. Id book the 2weeks huni just to be safe. Xxxx

I am 2nd day post op today and hav been in bed most of the time am due to go back to work next Monday … Hope it’s enough at the moment as am struggling to get up and down out of seats etc right now I guess just listen to your body x

I’m having 30 days off work! Not just for my ba but to have time off with my children over the 6 week holidays 🙂 xxx
