Melissa,
It really depends on how well you are recovering and
what type of work you do. For office work typically
you can return to work in one to two weeks. For more
strenuous manual labor work up to 6 weeks or longer.
I had a Tummy Tuck with a Lateral Thigh Lift
operation and I felt that one week was about right
for me (office work).
In 2009 the average Back To Work time appears to be
1-3 weeks.
Ref:ASAPS Tummy Tuck statistics 2009
Back To Work: 1-3 Weeks
If you can have it done on Friday and take the
following week off that will give you 10 days. That
sounds "do-able" if all goes well and you heal fast.
I don't know about the "a lot of bending down" part.
Maybe if you truss yourself up really good and bend
with your knees (really slowly). Your doctor will be
the only one to tell you for sure.
Best regards,
Tanner
