How Long Do I Have to Be out of Work After Tummy Tuck?

scared2death
I'm hearing so many different numbers being tossed around for Tummy Tuck recovery. I know this is an approximation as everybody is different. I am 5'8 148 lbs. I am in excellent physical condition and exercise often. Roughly how many days will I be bedridden and/or out on sick leave after this procedure?
