I had an RARP 15 years ago when I was 62. Four days after surgery, I drove to clients offices and worked on their computers, Just some easy stuff nothing to move around, only spent 3 hours. Four days later after the weekend, I worked full-time eight hours a day at least Going to multiple clients.

At the most I needed Tylenol for the pain, Even the second day.

I didn’t move around stuff or lift anything for a couple of weeks, I ran a computer consulting business and really had to go in and resolve problems people were having with their computers. Not really strenuous work most of the time, sitting down at a computer and resolving software problems.

Another guy I know had surgery a couple weeks before me. He’s more than 10 years older than I am. He was an OB/GYN was giving advice to other doctors four days after his surgery.

Results vary, Some people need to take weeks off. I’ve always been a little hyper and in good shape.
