Hi everyone. This is my first time on the board. I hope I'm doing this correctly. I wanted to comment on the time of recovery after the surgery. I had no pain, but did take off work a few days only because I wasn't sure how long it took to recovery. I could of went back to work the next day that's how easy it went. I had mine done in TJ by Dr. Ortiz, he was just wonderful! I have referred two of my friend to him and they will be having it done by Dr Ortiz in January.
