I have been approved for my panniculectomy. How long have most people been off work?

What is the recovery period like after the panniculectomy? I am also having a thyroidectomy performed during the same time, so I know that will also complicate my recovery. How long is the average hospital stay? How long before exercise can be resumed? How long have most people been off from work following the surgery? Is help needed in the home post-op? Any personal experiences you can share would be great!
