If by heavy industrial, you mean a lot of lifting, then your doc will likely say about 6 weeks.

I went back to work half days just short of 4 weeks after surgery but I have mostly a desk job. I felt fine but got tired easy and it took time for the energy level to come back. It's been 15 weeks now and my energy level is pretty good now.
