I am only going to take 7 days off too- I hope it's enough - I sit bend stand and run back and forth from room to room at my job..... Honestly all I have this whole year is one week of vacation - and it's a new job so I don't want to call attention to myself by taking short term leave if absence - but.... I only have one stomach!!!
My surgery will be in Albuquerque, NM.... I just found out yesterday that they were going to offer it here - I was going to fly to Ft. Worth,Texas.... That's when it hit me-yesterday that this whole thing is going to happen- thus I got a little scared - like what am I doing - but I hear a lot of people ask that question prior to surgery!!
Where is your surgery? How much time are you taking off?
How long after surgery do we need to worry about getting an ulcer? Is it a forever thing? I was under the assumption once we fully healed 1 year +\- that leaks and ulcers were rare?!?!?!?
