How long do I need to take off work after a tummy tuck? (Photo)

I’m 33 years old and I really want to get a tummy tuck but my job is pretty physically demanding. I would like to know about how long it takes for the scar to heal and be ready to go back to work. Also I like the look of a v shaped incision better, do I have a say in the incision I get or does it depend on the shape of my belly or texture of my skin?
