Once you had the surgery, how long did it take you to recover and get back to school?

if my surgery approves it, i will want to get mine during the Xmas or spring break holiday.

I got my surgery during the summer break.. I took that semester off.. Not because of the surgery but it was a good time to do it.. I am having to get my port replaced so Im waiting for the Christmas break as well. I think that is the best time to do it.

Good Luck!

I was going to take off this semester but decided against. Fortunately I have the option of attending my prgoram in person or virtually, so if needed I'll be able to sit in a nice recliner and do everything I need to do. :(

Well i'm not a college or grad. student but I was about 2 years ago. I think that today (day 4 after surgery) I could comfortably sit in a lecture based class. As for walking from class to class, walking is good for you so that shouldn't be a problem. Yesterday I was able to go to a friends house and go to a movie at the theater. Everyone is different though :( Goodluck!

I had mine over last spring break. I started my horseback riding class 3 weeks later. I would have started two weeks later, but I had to have an emergency D&C a week after my banding.

The only trouble I had with my band, other than of course being really, really tired my first week was having difficulty cleaning out the horses' hooves before and after riding them.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
