had it done last july, was off work one week but was on tight restrictions, i work as a manager in a local resturant, all the boss would let me do was supervise the crew and do books, the doc wanted me to be off the full six weeks untill i told him of my job duities. as some have said don't push it and in your line of work it may take longer than the six weeks that until you get up to full steem, it's been ten months for me and i still feel like crap....best of luck to you...
