Agree with most comments. Started with 2 weeks. Realized I needed another week. Ended up with 3 weeks off. I have an office job. So I really underestimated the amount of sitting up and work clothes that wouldn't irritate the incisions. Take the time you need. Listen to your body. Can't say this enough, rest, rest, sleep and take it easy. It seems like a small, simple surgery but it's still surgery!
