How Long Should one be off work for an appendectomy?

I wouldn't think any longer than a day or two tops.

Google says normal return to work after laparoscopic is 1 to 3 weeks.

Had mine removed in college and was back to class in 3-5 days. Granted, I was moving slow and it hurt like hell if someone made me laugh. I think his time frame is fine. People deal with pain differently. When I had my vasectomy I was back at work the next day. Yes, you could argue it was a minor surgery ( ) but I seem to do better with pain than most around me.

He better be at work tomorrow. If he isn't, I will fire him for you.

I was out two days max. Of course, I wasn't salary when I had mine done.

I've got an employee that had his appendix removed last Thursday. How long would one typically be out?

Did it burst? Because that could take up to 2 weeks to come back from. How old is he?

If it didn't burst, recover is much quicker....basically ease into work after a couple of days at home.

I was out 2 days, but Dr. wanted me out longer. Seat belts fall right over that area of surgery. Wreck too early could cause injuries.

Should be back tomorrow.

I had one done and was only on light duty for a week, Dr. Said if I had an office job I could go to work 2 days after if I wore some wind pants.

I was off work for 3 months after my open heart surgery if that helps answer your question.


PS: I did also kinda die at one point. So there's that as well.

again i think it depends on the individual, cool for ya'll but wifey surgires took a bit longer, good question about did it burst, or was it preemptively taken care of?
