I'm having mine shortly after you... My doctor said if you sit at a desk 5-7 days should be fine. If you do physical work, then 2 weeks. Good Luck!!!

I sit at a desk had surgery on a monday and went back the following tuesday. I had a pretty easy recovery and probably could have gone back earlier. Everyone is different and heals differently...........Listen to your body.

that is what i planned. i had surgery on wed and wanted to come back that following monday. i ended up just taking off that entire week and was very glad i did. i hope you are able to take some extra time for you. (some people are fine within a couple days, some may not be). depends on the person.

all the best on your upcoming surgery :)

I had surgery on a Friday and planned to be back at work Monday. I ended up taking Monday off and half a day Tuesday, but by Wed I was doing great. So if you tend to recover well, you should be fine.

However, everyone reacts to this surgery differently so you have a good plan now, but just be aware you may have to extend it.
