About 4-12 weeks.

Generally speaking, it will take a few weeks to a few months to recover--depending on the type of spine surgery, the extent of the surgery, any co-morbid conditions, and the pre-operative phsycial condition of the patient.

Depends. Some spine surgeries are bigger than others. In general, 6-8 weeks.

Hope it helps!
