I waited 6 weeks, but could have gone back sooner. I really wanted to make sure I was able to get in my proteins, liquids, and begin new foods without possibly getting sick at work. By week three I was getting BORED! But I don't think I was up yet to working 12 hours shifts, much less being on my feet all day. But we each do what we have to do! I'd play it by ear...most doctors will give you 6 weeks disability with this surgery.
