scentsymomma 0 Posted May 9, 2011 Hi. I was wondering if some of you that have had this procedure could tell me your personal experience with recovery time. I am scheduled to have the procedure done on May 16th and am leaving for vacation on June 11th. My doctor says I should be fine. How long did it take you to get back to walking long distances, being out in the heat, etc.? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TijuanaPlication 87 Posted May 9, 2011 My surgery and recovery was also a bit of a vacation. I stayed in hospital for 3 nights and then flew from San Diego to Las Vegas. I did get pain, but the meds did a good job of taking care of that and being in Vegas forced me to walk LOTS (I got blisters in boots that had long since been broken in). Plication is lower risk for complications though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
