Surgical Consult Tomorrow -- Can I Ask You About Your Surgery Date?

[SashaWLS 412]

Hi there...

I have my consult tomorrow (saw the dietician and nurse today) and I assume he'll want to set a date... Which TOTALLY stresses me out!!! I want to do this, I'm excited, I'm looking forward to it, and I'm also scared. So I thought I'd ask you guys about your experiences...

1- How long did you have to wait before your surgery from the initial consult? Did you feel that was too soon, too long?

2- How quickly were you up and around. And HOW up and around were you? Were you ok to do work or were you lying in bed... What was it like post-op?

I have a TON going on right now. I'm moving my elderly father in March. Work is very busy right now. And I have a big volunteer project which is crazy busy for me in May... My two options for surgery dates are in April or in June... On one hand, I'd love to have part of the summer feeling good about myself, and I don't want to sit and think about this for too too long... But on the other hand I don't want to rush recovery if I'm not going to be feeling well...

What would you do?

Thanks so much!!!
