How long did you take from work?

Hi all,

I'm new around here.

I just got final surgical approval and I'm just waiting for my insurance approval. It's looking like I will have surgery some time in mid-October. My surgeon is pretty laid back about how long they think you should take off work and give a very vague "2-4 weeks".

I have a pretty non-physical job. I do a lot of walking, but no lifting or strenuous activity. I'm thinking about trying to schedule surgery on a Friday, taking the entire next week off, and going back to work the following Tuesday. So, 12 days total. Is that going to be completely un-doable? Doc says this surgery is easier to recover from than a c-section and I was totally back to normal from my cesarean within a week.
