Well my dad had some sort of knee operation done and he was out of work for I think it was at least 3 weeks or so. I think it all depends on the operation. I'd ask your doctor or whoever did the operation.

I had surgery on my right knee last year (Iliotibial Band was too tight so had to be released). I was signed off work for a month, but full recovery time was around 1.5 months. It really depends on the surgery. I've heard people being off work for 6 months following more severe surgery.
Just rest it, and ask your doc for painkillers. I was on Co-codamol and Tramadol, both of which are very powerful pain killers, but they definatly helped.
The biggest issue you will have is the swelling. Accidentally putting weight/strain on the knee is VERY painful (believe me!). Rest, rest and more rest!
Why not ask the actual surgeon when you're there, hell even BEFORE the actual surgery? Seems like pretty basic stuff to ask.

You'd think a surgeon is the most experienced and qualified person to ask about the surgery he did...
i had my gall bladder removed and it was pretty painful waking up with tubes coming out of my chest and vomitting bile.

Hi
I wish I have had knee surgery, mine are messed up. :P
Going to wait until we have epic robotic limbs, then i'll blow my pension on that !
My brother had some surgery to one knee recently and he didn't need much time to recover at all. Guess it differs from person to person, and on the injury etc.
