I wanted to do my surgery over the holidays. That is when I get to rest. But my family is grown and holidays are now "not so fussy!" Look at the weight you will not gain only to have to loose later! Your choice.. I'm getting mine 12/6.

Actually it isn't my choice that is my problem! The December 29 date is my consult...that was the first available appointment...it isn't for surgery. I would do it if it was December 24th at this point but unfortunately that is not the case

So sorry! So hard to wait!

I had surgery on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. The first couple days back, I did need to take some meds for pain, but it wasn't bad. Just make sure you get up and moving starting the day after surgery and you will be fine. The more you walk (without overdoing it) the better off you are. Congratulations on being so close in the process! It's exciting!

Thanks qtney...I know myself well enough I will probably do it. My husband is a little apprehensive about me doing it that way but I have always recovered easily from most things. We will see when I have my consult what the dr. says. Thanks again for your reply!
