recovery time/ time off work after sleeve?

[kellyhymas]

Hello i am just wondering how long everyone was off work after the sleeve? I work in a tea room and my boss is going on maternity in june/july. my next appointment is suppose to be in three month times where i have target to loose. then i am covering my boss for 9 month maternity obviously i wont be turning down a date for an operation but she doesn't want to work after just having the baby. so i was wondering on average what people have needed off work?

thank you. x

I took 6 weeks off and i needed it. No lifting anything heavier than a kettle for 12 weeks.
