Each person is different.

I, personally could have gone back to work in two weeks. I was picking up my house, doing laundry and dishes and stuff the day after I got home from the hospital. I felt great.

Someone else will say it took them until week three to feel good enough to make it through a day.

Someone else might get a complication that has them back in the hospital with no return to work possible for over a month.

Most people go back to work around week 3-4.

    I was out a week and felt pretty good going back. Coached a football game 5 days after surgery, but everyone heals differently.
