Abdominoplasty And Hernia Surgery Aug 16Th



Recommended Posts

Aug 16th I am having my surgery. I cant wait! though here's my situation. I was planning on taking collage classes in Fall 2012. I now thinking just doing 1 online class or none at all.

classes start two weeks post op. I basically just need my text book and laptop for course. I dunno. just looking how people were with returning to "office work"or school.

thanks

I think u may find 2 weeks post op a little early to go to college .. could u not request some home work for another 2 weeks, not sure really, its all an individual thing how u do post op, I recover well from surgery but wouldnt have been able to do a full day at college, the seating alone would be too uncomfortable .. but speak to your surgeon regarding returniong to college .. good luck with your surgery :)

I returned to work 1/2 days 10 days after my Tummy Tuck. Consequently it took me long, long time to heal. I had my drain in for 6 weeks. I think if I hadn't overdone it so soon, that I would have healed much faster.

I agree with Karen....better to take time to recover ... Otherwise it takes a long time to get back to normal.

I think I just managed to stand up straight at week 3.

What does your doctor say? My doctor gave me very accurate advice as to when it was ok to do certain things.

TT is a very intense operation compared to the others i had.

Best of luck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
