candykane88 13 Posted March 22, 2016 I check in for my surgery tomorrow (3/22)! at 8am and am supposed to be the first person in!!! WHOOOOHOOOOOO! My birthday is Sunday (3/27) and this is by far the best gift I could have given myself. I had internalized stress a coped with a side of junk food for a while and I am beyond ready to get myself back on track. I gave my friends and family a disclaimer a few weeks ago that I am no longer holding my tongue and can not continue to be EVERYONE's emotional go to person- I was trying to be there for everyone but neglected myself tremendously. But on a lighter note...how long did you stay in the hospital? I am expecting 2 days and planning to return to work Monday of next week (3/28) since I work a desk job.

Angie74 170 Posted March 22, 2016 I stayed in the wilmington hospital for 2 1/2 days. I went back to work after 3 1/2 weeks. I also have a desk job but could have used another week. My body was physically ok but I was too tired to last a whole day Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

candykane88 13 Posted March 25, 2016 @@candykane88 - how are you doing now? Relax this weekend and watch those Cadbury bunnies!I am feeling surprisingly well! I spent last night on the couch instead of the bed and gave away the last few forbidden foods that were in the pantry this morning. My intention is still to go back to work Monday but that may change. For now I am going to spend the day clearing off my DVR and sleeping of course .Thanks everyone!
