Someone posted a question like this a few weeks back- you might want to search for it...
it depends on the type of opening you had and how they close it- If it’s an open wound and they pack it or if they just suture or staple it. If they suture or staple, you could be back pretty early on if you feel up to it and you have access to a restroom.
Also there is pain management to think about and if the wound is open or if you had an infection, you might have pain wearing pants- if that’s where the incision sit hits your pants. All of these things are stuff you won’t really know until you start to recover.
I work at a University (in an office setting where I can step out to go to the restroom when necessary) and I was back in 4 weeks after my takedown. I knew that I had the option to go part time if I went back that first week and it was too difficult for me or my energy level was too low. I kept that in my back pocket so-to-speak. I also had a to-go bag that I took to the bathroom with me and a change of clothes in case I had an accident, etc. It helped to be prepared but I didn’t think I did have any accidents that I can remember (it was a three years ago). My 4 weeks is a little early to go back, and I think you’ll hear from others that they took longer.
