Hi there, I'm a newbie too! Just met with surgeon yesterday and will have surgery on March 28th. I'm excited, and wondering if I should be scared or more inquisitive! My biggest fear right now is the recovery. How long most people are off of work vs the 5 or so days they Dr office says is the norm.
I also read that I can't drive for 2 weeks. ugh!
liquid diet will be a challenge. But a great excuse to eat alot of popsicles!
Has anyone ever had to stay overnight in hospital for this procedure?
Knowing that I have to start pre-op diet on 23rd, every day until then will be treated like my last meal!
Good luck to you
