Re:Returning to Work after Plastic Surgery

August 13, 2002

Just thought I would add my two cents to the comments below. I had my TT

on a Wednesday and could have gone back to work on that Monday. I didn't

go back until that Friday because I had earmarked the time off and took

advantage of it! I had a breast lift on a Thursday and went back to work

the following Wednesday. Again, I could have easily gone back on Tuesday ,

but I had the time earmarked and once again took advantage of it!

The most important thing to remember is that everyone responds differently

to medical procedures. I have read that some people felt that a TT was

worse than their RNY. Both of my " reconstructive " surgeries were very easy

and (thankfully) non-eventful.

I had arms and breasts done separately. But in both cases I was back to work

in four days. I don't really think having them together would have extended

that much. Interesting how different we all are!
