Does it take 2 or 3 weeks to recover?

Hello,

I know many people have diffrent recovery times and no one can predict what will work for them. I was orginally thinking two weeks, but now I'm thinking about asking for three weeks because I know I have a low metabolism and stay tired a lot. I've heard many people are wiped out after surgery more than what they thought they would be and because I stay tired before surgery I figured it would be ten times worse after surgery. But I was thinking well I'm 30, so I may be able to bounce back in two weeks if I just get to moving as soon as possible. I'm not sure which would be safer. I would hate to go back to work and not make it through the day. I do have a sit down job so it doesnt require a lot of movement, but sometimes I run up and down stairs to get co-pays from patients but each day is different depending on how many patients we have that day. Any advice?

WOWOW. I wonder if taking iron and vitatmin d will help with the fatigue a little? I am exercising now and trying to stay active, I've heard that does help with recovery. I may be able to get a way with a few half days too.
