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

I had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and I was back at work in two days.

I had the same surgery on a Thursday, took off Friday and was back to work on Monday. I think I probably should have taken off a few more days. I was walking pretty slow and it was not easy getting up from my chair and sitting back down. It's not a good idea to rush recovery from surgery. A good week is good for most things laparoscopic and outpatient I would think.
