What is the normal amount of time needed off after a breast reduction?

I had open gallbladder removal in 11/99, open RNY 10/00, hernia repair/panniculectomy 12/01. I am nervous about asking for two or three more weeks off for a breast reduction because we are going to be very busy at work. Has anyone had a breast reduction and been able to return to work in a week or less? I would be mostly sitting at a desk. Thanks!
