Each surgeon has thier own recommendations on this. It also makes a difference if you will be having it open or laproscopic. Most take 4 to 6 weeks off for recovery. Talk to your surgeon on this one, they can best advise you in this.

Congrats on getting a date. You may even consider explaining your situation and asking if there is any possible way they could get ou in in July?
