Recovery timeline after anal polyp excision and haemorrhoid rubber band ligation

Hi everyone. On Monday, I had surgery to excise an anal fibroepithelial polyp (commonly known as a skin tag). Whilst getting the surgery, they also did rubber band ligation for some internal haemorrhoids. I was given a sick note for 2 weeks by the surgeon. Today is Saturday (so day 5 post-op) and, so far, the pain has been manageable but actual healing has been slow. I’m bleeding during/after BMs and the wound is still leaking/oozing blood/pus. I’m wondering how others who have had this procedure got on? How long did it take for the bleeding/oozing to stop? How long before you could return to work and normal activities? How long before you could return to exercise? Thanks in advance.

No advice. Sorry. I'm sure to that I've seen a thread on this before if you use advanced search.
