Aquarius,

My reasons for not going to work were sheerly cosmetic and I actually worked from a hotel and home. I am not saying to go back to work as I have taken from 7 -10 days off during all 3 of my HT's .. My point is to explain it does not leave you bed ridden and that someone such as an accountant could indeed resume work the next day. I always tell people to take time off BUT if they have a non strenuous position and on't care about cosmetics they can.

As far as losing ground, this is not a contest for me, or to gain gain approval from others. It is to inform and help others see the truth of whats in stored for them. I bring the facts as I have had 3 HT's .

Mrjb is correct.

Depending on the job, technically speaking you MAY be able to go back to work the next day. My first day post-op from my third hair transplant was spent in airports, walking around, being very uncomfortable. I would have welcomed sitting at my desk at work over being in airports and traveling all day.

Personally however, I feel that it is best to at least take a few days and lay low and take it easy. This isn't to say that you have to remain in bed, but giving your body the rest it needs to heal is always helpful. This is especially true for the first couple of days as the blood is rushing to the donor wound to bring healing.

Happy New Year everyone!

Bill
