Well I only took off a week of work and I have a sit down job just mke sure you walk...walk...and walk like you are supposed to dont just lay around because it is more comfortable they would not make you get up and move around in the hospital so soon after the surgery if it was not good for you make yourself get up and move around sit, stand, walk it may be a little uncomfortable sitting for a full day at work but just make sure you get up and move around I was fine and so ready to go back to work I hate being in the house so I was fine dont take too much time out or the Laziness of just being able to lay around especially if no one is around you think oohh no one will know trust me MAKE yourself get up and move around. I went to the mall and walked around very slowly they had benches there so when I got tired I was able to sit down and rest and people watch a couple times I thought I was gonna pass out cause I was so drained but then I just sat and made sure I had water with me. You will do just fine 2 weeks is more then enough in my opinion as long as the surgery goes smoothly which I am sure yours will. Good luck.
