I’m 7 days post op.  I haven’t taken pain medications in 2 days.   My question is how long did you guys wait before returning to work? I’m scared to return too early as I cannot control when I get the urge to have a BM and I am still screaming a bit after the BM from the pain.   Luckily I live alone and no one can hear me.

I wouldn’t return as long as I felt like that.  Better to return in earnest without those uncertainties hanging over you

Props on abstaining from the pain meds @ADRIANA B !  

Depends on what kind of surgery op you had, but you should certainly be ready or very close in a week

I went back to work after 2 weeks, which I think you’re at now @ADRIANA B ?

How are you doing
