Fistuloctomy and Personal Training

Hi to everyone.

I have recently become a Personal Trainer and I really enjoy my job.

I have been told I need to do a fistuloctomy by my doctor but I am not sure if Seton is needed or not yet.

I need to move around a lot using my body for my job and so I asked my doctor for how long I will have to rest.

Now, the weird part is that I was told I could go back to working out and coaching the next day after the surgery, which seems very suspicious.

I will meet him again on the 27th to decide whether to go thru with the surgery or not so I wanted advices from other Personal Trainsers who went thru it about what do and, if i decide to go thru with it, any possible advice.

Ps.

In my country there is no sick leave and I am a contract worker so I can only take 2-3 days off a week tops.

Thank you!
