tt-er's...answers please--how long?
I think it depends partly on your general health, how you do when you go under, etc. I had a lower body lift (whi*****ludes a tummy tuck) 20 days ago. At two weeks out, I worked a full day of work from home. That same week, I went to the office for half days four days and worked the other half day from home. I probably could have done the entire day from work if needed. And yet I see how the LBL could have knocked me out for four weeks . . . so it's hard to say.
How physically stenuous is your work? If you are sitting at a desk you are a lot likelier to be okay. I wouldn't have been able to stand the whole time or move around rigorously. Good luck!

Two weeks isn't a very long time, I couldn't t get upright for 3 weeks from a laying down position. It also depends on how much muscle repair you have done, if any. I not only had extensive muscle repair, but also a baseball size umbilical hernia repair. The drains could be a problem, too, I had 2 drains in for 3 weeks and 1 drain in for 4 weeks. Good luck, but don't rush yourself, being affected from the anesthetic makes you exhausted and it's hard to sleep for a couple of weeks.
