I had surgery on Friday and was at work again on Tuesday. The pain was not bad at all, but I was really tired more than anything else. I felt like I could have laid my head on my desk and slept for an hour or two which is very unusual. A couple of days later and I felt fine.

I have an office job so it wasnt a big deal, but everyone heals a little differently and has different tolerance levels. A week is a safe bet for anyone. If you do go back in less than a week, it would be better to have shorter days or at least the option to go home if you are not feeling up to snuff.
