for shortening upper maxillary, what is typical time off a job?

[Guest guest]

Is two weeks enough time off work for most people to have shortening

of the upper jaw only? 3 weeks is the most I could possibly get off

if necessary. I've read other people's surgery tales that I came

across online, but I haven't found one that mentions going back to

work. I want to know if anyone has had to go back to work 2 or 3

weeks later and what challenges did that pose. I work an office job,

mostly sitting at a computer. Thanks.

Take as much time as you can without jeopardizing your job. It's

major surgery. If you're like me, you'll breeze through it, but

that's nothing like thestresses of your work and the length of a full

day while your body is trying to divert energy to the healing process.

My job is similar, I'm an accounting manager. I stayed off 5 weeks,

at 6 weeks I tried to work some major overtime to meet a reporting

deadline and found out just what the body does when it's not 100% and

subjected to stress. I was weak, almost fainted, swelling came back.

I left work and it took 3 days to get back to where I was physically

when I left.

You won't regret taking that extra time off.
