Ok, I'm a dental hygienist. I'm up and down and bending over all day. I had my surgery on Friday, November 2nd and went back to work Monday, November 5th. The first day was rough, but I made it. The main thing is to get up and walk a lot the first few days. I have a 20 month old daughter, so that forced me to get moving soon!
I'm in Alabama also. My surgery is this Friday. I'm excited, but also really nervous. I've went through 6 months to get insurance approval, but I still can't believe I'm about to really do this!
