How Long Should one be off work for an appendectomy?

I've got an employee that had his appendix removed last Thursday. How long would one typically be out?
It was done laparoscopically (sp?). His job doesn't require any lifting or anything like that, supervisory position.

I wouldn't think any longer than a day or two tops.

Google says normal return to work after laparoscopic is 1 to 3 weeks.

I had mine out on a Sunday and was back at work Tuesday. Mainly just office work for about a week till I got back out on the site.

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.

What does his doctor's note say?
I'd say 1 week from surgery based off family members that have had an appy.

He better be at work tomorrow. If he isn't, I will fire him for you.

For some people a vasectomy just requires a little prick.

I was out two days max. Of course, I wasn't salary when I had mine done.

Did it burst? Because that could take up to 2 weeks to come back from. How old is he?
If it didn't burst, recover is much quicker....basically ease into work after a couple of days at home.

I was out 2 days, but Dr. wanted me out longer. Seat belts fall right over that area of surgery. Wreck too early could cause injuries.

wife just fot through with 3 surgeries for kidney stones, so i guess on yourself,but i know appendectomy can be rough, frick them, and get yourself well bro

Should be back tomorrow.
I had one done and was only on light duty for a week, Dr. Said if I had an office job I could go to work 2 days after if I wore some wind pants.

I was off work for 3 months after my open heart surgery if that helps answer your question.
PS: I did also kinda die at one point. So there's that as well.

I stayed out 1 week, per the docs recommendation. This was a month ago.

again i think it depends on the individual, cool for ya'll but wifey surgires took a bit longer, good question about did it burst, or was it preemptively taken care of?
