10 days should be fine.

As everything, there’s a spectrum of possibilities in the recovery for this surgery. There are many varying techniques in performing a full abdominoplasty that your ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be familiar with. If you discuss return to work at this deadline, I believe that it will in fact help your recovery since you are so motivated to get out of bed and mover around. A technique of internal suturing can help get your drains out sooner than usual (typically a week).

Even if you go back to work with your drains, depending on what you do at your work, it is achievable. Your recovery will depend greatly on your anatomy, your stamina, tolerance and the actual operation performed. The plan you’ve made thus far is reasonable.
