Recovery Period Before Housekeeping Work After Mommy Makeover Surgeries?

AngieW1460Dec 15, 2009

I am having a tummy tuck, breast implants and liposuction in 2 months. I have owned a housecleaning business for 13 years now. How long after my Mommy Makeover should I return to housekeeping work (mopping, vacuuming, scrubbing)? What is a safe amount of time to take off before returning to this type of work? Thanks!
