Notsobigmum 3 Posted February 27, 2013 A tad apprehensive. But mostly want to get it done and recovering. Have 7 year old so need to be back up and at it quickly!!! How long has it taken folks to recover? I'm hoping no longer than 2 weeks. Know everyone is different but setting myself a goal of getting up and walking evening of my surgery - hopefully can stick to my goal. Good luck everyone!
