John, how do you feel physically? I intend to get a FOV but I can only get 1 day off for recovery (2 days total) from work so I wanted to know if its feasible to get the surgery on day 1, follow up on day 2, and be back at work day 3?
I guess it would depend on what you do?

Are you a logger or something? I doubt you will be able to go back after a vitrectomy.

If you sit in front a of a computer, I suppose you could go back to work. I was surfing the web and chanting on forums after surgery. I had virtually zero pain. Only slight tenderness when I have to pry my eye open to put in the 2 prescribed drops (steroid and antibiotic).

Seems like a common level of recovery time for this is about 1 to 2 weeks before you can do normal activities.

Always check with your doctor, not some guy like me on the internet.
