karook54 0 Posted October 31, 2008 I didn't feel myself again until 1 week. I took off 2 weeks because I do have a demanding job, but I think you should give yourself plenty of time to heal. I'm 10 post op and still have alot of pain from my port and a hernia repair ( which I didn't know I had until after surgery)so I agree that you should have a plan B. Good luck w/ your surgery!

terilynn112 1 Posted October 31, 2008 I'm a stay at home mom. I was home alone by mid my second day. I was home the same day from surgery. ALthough my children are 2 and a half (twins) one is disabled and developmentally at 6 months. So I have to carry him everywhere. I did tire easily, but I just kept moving. I feel great now... and yes by day 5 I was good to go. Teri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Bridgette~ 0 Posted October 31, 2008 I had my surgery on Weds and although my port area is sore, I feel great. I've been sipping my liquids and getting my Protein in. I actually got up and walked around the house for 30 min this morning. I was tired afterwards and fell asleep (thanks percocet) but it felt great to have the energy to walk for 30 min straight.

That's great to hear Bridgette. I wish you a speedy recovery (seems you're well on your way with that) and great success with your new tool for success!
