What is the longest time given to recover after an open rny?

I have a consultation with the surgeon next month, yet I am curious about recovery time after an open rny. My job is a 1-2 hour + commute. (I live in Los Angeles). I can't imagine getting sick at work & having to deal with the ride home or having to explain to the physician at my work site why I have to leave. They may not even allow me to leave ill without someone driving out there to pick me up. I want to make sure I stay off work the maximum alloted time. Is about 6 weeks normal? Thanks in advance to any suggestions:)
