You do not provide enough information for us to answer your question.  Important issues include the original direction of your eye turn, whether you have had previous eye muscle surgeries, what the exact cause of the problem is, and what type of surgery was performed.  Two weeks is a fairly short amount of time after eye muscle surgery.  I agree with your surgeon - be patient, give healing more time.
