surgery 2 of 3 recovery time?

Hi all, Im just wondering how long recovery time is after part 2 in creating a j-pouch, Ive an interview on friday for a great summer job that I would love to take but willl be having the surgery in early July,I asked my surgeon about working and he said that unless it was for 4 weeks in august or something it prob wouldnt be possible, hes a good surgeon and Im planning on taking his advice but at the same time Id like to tell the employer that i wouldnt be able to work for 2 or 3 weeks in july which they may have to work around (wasnt a well advertised job and ive worked with them last summer)

Any help would be nice on how long it took other people to recover, the job is as a receptionist, a desk job with no heavy lifting etc, and comes with accommodation about 30 seconds walk from work.

When I had my three-step surgery - it was open and not laproscopic - I wasn't in as much pain as following the first surgery but I had the exact same incision so there was soreness. I work part-time, but I think you would probably be able to go back to a desk job in a couple of weeks as long as there are no complications. Good luck!

I agree that everyone is different but my son, Dillon, could not have gone to work within 4 weeks. You will probably recover more quickly than after the first surgery since you are healthy going into this one....it makes a huge difference. However, this is very major surgery and you need to allow your body to recover. You will find you tire very easily and this is your body telling you that you need to rest. I would follow the advice of your surgeon.
