I don't work, but I do go to school full time and run a household of my own... I needed about 6 days to feel mostly normal again, and another 4 until the incision sites healed enough not to be bothered by my seatbelt so I could drive comfortably. But I took a full two weeks.
Everyone is different, though. If I would have felt comfortable driving and I had a sit-down job, I would have been ready to go back on day 7. I still would have gone the full 2 weeks if I were still in security.
