  1. I had surgery on June 13th & returned 10 days later... It took me about 2 mths to completely heal & now almost 5mths later they are starting to fade in! :-) I also have a desk job & had no problems returning!... Good Luck!!!!
  2. It took me about 6 days before I could lay on my sides, but I always had a pillow around my stomach & that helps!
  3. My doctor had me be off pain meds for at least 24 hrs before I could drive!
  4. My surgery date is June 13th. I have been on the 2 week pre op liquid diet!... It has by far been the hardest thing I have ever in my life done!... I'm starting to get really nervous!... Does anyone have any suggestions for me for surgery day?!
