Default Appropriate recovery time before return to work?

All,

I am having cervical ADR with Dr. B next month in Bogen. I work as a management consultant (lots of time behind the computer and a fair amount of air travel). What is a reasonable expectation for being able to return back to work for this type of a job from this type of surgery? About 6 weeks?

I am an otherwise healthy 35 y/o male in decent physical condition.

Matt
