How long do I need off work with Lap RNY?

I do not remember what the doctor said so I am asking here, first. How long will I need to be off work after Lap RNY if my job consist of no heavy lifting but a lot of walking, bending and the such. I am a nurse who will be working in a clinic. I was thinking about 3 weeks would be right? Any input- never really had major surgery before so I am not sure how I will feel. Surgery scheduled for 4/3/03.
