I am just starting the journey into looking at WLS, probably sleeve. I am wondering if I have the surgery, how long until I can go back to work? I work a desk-type of job and work 2 1/2 days from home and 3 half days at the office. I don't really want my coworkers to know that I have had surgery (well maybe a few will know but not them all). I was thinking of taking a week off to say I was taking care of my mother but I wasn't sure if this is enough time to have the surgery, recover somewhat, and return to work like nothing happened. I'm not embarrassed about the surgery (they all can see I'm overweight, lol) but I just don't think it is anyone's business. I could possibly take two weeks as I have enough vacation. Thoughts???
