I see no one has answered and its been a long time but ill help... it took me a little over 3 months to recover from evasive prosectamy,meaning they gutted me,lol.I had a choice to let the robot do it but the waiting list was longer,the only difference is the robot does it like othrascopic,4 little holes to do the job.If you're a fast healer id say about 2 months or so and you'll be back on your feet,not running the bostom maraathon but able to get around.I went back to work operating a excavator after 4 months,hurt like hell but I hate sitting around,hope this helps even if its late, good luck,
