Depends on where you work.
How much you need.
And even if it's allowed where you work.
My initial leave was 9 months. 6 was paid. 3 were not. But my time off was unlimited disability leave. But only 6 are paid. After that my job was secure when I was ready. But the no pay really hurt. Still had insurance as long as it was associated to the issue. Nothin else. Financially. That hurt.
And mine went wrong. So the nine months off.
When I had it removed two years later I was able to go back after 6 weeks. Ya... I know. Fast. But I took 8 weeks.
Most of it depends on where you work.
And whether your job is protected. Mine was. My last worry was work.
But in the end I think 8 weeks ought to get you on the right track.
(I had a half hour commute)
Good luck.
