I had my surgery on Aug 26/14, I'm 11 days post op, everything went well, I feel great, I feel like I can go back to work now, no pain, no nausea, I tolerated my fluids, my incisions are healed, I started walking on the treadmill, so far so good.. But I'm still going to take my 6 weeks, cause I work at a hospital, I work hard and long hours... Good luck everyone, I hope the journey is as smooth as mine.
