hi all how long after your bypass was it before you returned to work.julie.:)
 
I'm still off. Had open surgery 15th May. Had thought 6 weeks, but have felt pretty ropey and have a wound infection - feeling sorry for myself! so if I don't feel strong enough I will take as long as I need! xx
 
Im a stay at home mum, so didnt have work to worry about. But had i worked, being a nurse id have left it 6 weeks. It depends what type of job you do. If its very physical id say defo 6weeks, other jobs prob 4 weeks. It was around 4 weeks that i started to feel a bit better.
 
I went back after 10 weeks but my Dr wanted me to have more time of. He just said if I couldnt manage go back and he would put me back on the sick
