    Hiya

    Mine was exploratory too but I ended up taking almost a week, as I reacted to the GA.

    You may need a little more recovery time if you're having surgery.

    On the other hand, plenty of people have been back up and about in a couple of days.

    If possible, could you arrange for a colleague to be a 'back-up' for you in the Saturday, just in case?

    Good luck, hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery.

    I was back at work 4 days after my first one, but with the second one it was 3 weeks before I could even bend over without pain. I wouldn't be working 2 days afterwards that's for sure! You will still be pretty sore around the incision sites so if you did go in, you'd have to take it very easy.
