Will I Be Able to Go Back to Work After My Implant Surgery?

[Nick74]

Hey guys,
I own a small restaurant and I have to be there every day to keep things running.
For those of you who’ve had the surgery do you think I’ll be able to go back to work after about 10 days?
I’m not lifting anything heavy, just moving around, standing, and managing the place.
Would love to hear your experiences.
And your suggestions.

If you don’t have any complications, ten days should be sufficient. I would have been back to work in a similar timeframe, but a hematoma dictated more rest time.

I returned to work in day 11. Felt fine.

Resting and staying off your feet, ice ice ice ice, for the first few days will increase the chance you are able to return to work on day 10.

A lot of factors play into the answer. How pumped up are you? If you can conceal it and you can go in your office occasionally to get off your feet and possibly move things around you should be ok. Everybody heals differently and nobody can give you a definitive answer. By day 10 I was up and about but couldn’t seem to be on my feet for more than an hour or a little more before I would get pretty uncomfortable. Been 3-1/2 years since I had mine and I had a full blown shoulder rotator surgery just two weeks before my implant so I was home bound for many months anyway. Just go in if you feel like it but don’t overdo it and set your recovery back by causing swelling. You’ll figure it out as the time comes. Good luck! Hang I. There it will get better every week.

I was working from home when I got the surgery, so I can't quite compare. But by ten days after the surgery, I was moving around in public without too much problem. It certainly helps if you can dress according to what feels comfortable. It's likely that you will want to wear loose-fitting pants and keep your dick pointing upwards, and an untucked shirt to hide your bulge. Also, based on my experience, you might feel the need to rearrange yourself quite often. But if you're able to dress comfortably and can make frequent use of a bathroom when you feel the need to move things around, then, based on my experience, you should be okay.

I own one too! I went back for an hour on day 2. Then a bit longer the next day. By day 3 I was there for most of day. Do what is comfortable. No lifting. Sit at a table have some coffee.
You ok boss. Yeah just a little surgery - you can always say hernia if you feel need to explain.

I was only out 3-4 days I think.

On my revision, I probably could have gone back on day 2.

Thanks brother. Yeah that’s exactly what I’m worried about the complications.I’m planning to be smart those first days: no lifting, no rushing, just light walking and managing the place.If everything stays clean and no hematoma shows up, 10 days sounds doable.But if something flares up, I’ll take the extra time. No point risking the implant for a few days of work.
Appreciate the input — helps a lot hearing real experiences.

Thanks man, that helps. If I can get back by day 10–11 with good rest and icing, that’s exactly what I’m aiming for. I’ll stay off my feet those first days and play it safe. Appreciate the advice.
