I am having lipoma surgery. How much time will I need to take off work?

smarksberry
I am having a lipoma removed from my lower back by a general surgeon. he states it is wrapped around a nerve. he would nor remove it in the office due to not sure how bad it looks until he gets in there. I just want to know how much pain I will be in after the procedure. I am also a nurse and don't like pain. how long will I be out of work please help
