Re: First time surgery
First of all, welcome to this wonderful community and best of luck with your surgery scheduled for March 23rd
My advice would be to wait and see how your recovery goes. Your body will let you know.
Take care

If you've already been approved for 12 weeks off, then stick with that for now. If your recovery goes well and you feel you can return to work earlier, then ask your doctor and employer about that when the time comes.
