Few weeks: Most recover quite well within a few weeks, if neurosurgical techniques (small incision, facet sparing, micro-discectomy or "minimally invasive" techniques) are used.

Hard to say: The recovery time depends on the type of surgery you'll have. If it's a minimally invasive surgery, it may be a few weeks. If it's a fusion surgery, it may take much longer than that.
