Hi, I'm having surgery with Dr. Hagen on Sept. 5th. I've heard different amounts of time. But roughly 3-6 weeks I would think.
I'm hoping to be back to work in 3 weeks.

Hi, it will depend on how quick you heal of course. I have a desk job and thought 2 weeks. But i had a little extra done during surgery ( revision ).So i ended up taking 4 weeks...Everyone is different , but make sure you give yourself enough time. ..Good luck Krista..

It all depends on the physicality of your job. I am a nurse and have already been told probably 8 weeks due to the lifting that we do. Even though we only have visible "stab wounds" the docs are doing a whole lot of work inside and it does take 6-8 weeks for incisions to really heal up inside

Give your self a chance to heal and adjust.
I have a desk job that is high stress and can call for alot of running around on some days and home visits in the community . I'm gonna try to take the max he will give. 7 weeks would be awesome
