I had the pilonidal surgery over 10 years ago and I still have no signs of the cyst coming back. If I could remember, I was up and around 3-4 days after surgery and returned to all my activities within the month. I’m very grateful to Dr. Sternberg and his team. \Pro tip: Do bridge exercises (you can Google it) to help bulk up your glutes a few months after surgery. Otherwise, it could hurt if you sit for long periods of time.
