It varies honey we all heal at different rates,I was back in work after 2 weeks,but I had overs,I could have gone back after a week but I booked holidays,didnt want to take more time off for post op appointments,so got them out of the way whilst I was off work,double check on the driving,Im sure when having surgery your insurance may be void for 7 days due to the medication and effects of the anaesthetic,xxx
