My surgery is on July 11, and I too am only able to take 1 week off. I am worried but will try very hard to push thru it. I am planing to take it easy and not over do it. I basically sit at a desk and can take breaks, If I get tired I will "hide" for a little "rest". This is my plan...We will see. Keep me posted I also feel your emotions. I guess this is all part of the Journey!!! Good Luck

Hi,
I had my surgery on June 22nd and I'm planning on returning after 13 days (July 5th). I'm hoping for more improvement because as of now I'm still having pain on my left said when I move and walk along with some swelling. My surgeon's nurse told me today that this is one of the most common calls she receives from people after the surgery and that it is normal. I'm hoping I'm ready on Tuesday. I didn't have the liquid diet prior to surgery just a specialized diet but now that I'm post op I've been on liquids and it's driving me crazy already. I'm just keeping my eye on the prize. A healthy me for the first time in my life! Good luck to you.
