Can anyone give me an idea at what recovery time either just lower jaw surgery vs upper and lower?

How much time will I need at work? I have an office job.

Thanks, again.

I had lower jaw surgery on a thursday and then needed the whole next week to recover. I don't work, but my husband stayed home to look after our 2 young children. When he went back to work, I resumed my normal duties.

Being banded shut was hard to talk/yell at the kids, and I was a bit lethargic, but overall managed quite well.
