re: How Long Should one be off work for an appendectomy?

Had mine removed in college and was back to class in 3-5 days. Granted, I was moving slow and it hurt like hell if someone made me laugh. I think his time frame is fine. People deal with pain differently. When I had my vasectomy I was back at work the next day. Yes, you could argue it was a minor surgery ( ) but I seem to do better with pain than most around me.
