How soon after surgery can I return to work?
Each patient responds to surgery uniquely, and you should seek specific information from Dr. Thomas. However, generally, how quickly you return to work depends on the nature of your work. Those who have rather sedentary jobs find that they are able to return to work as soon as two weeks post-op, while those with jobs requiring physical exertion typically require up to six weeks to fully recover. Having just had major surgery, it is important to listen to your body and take your time in recovering.
