Sorry, 11 days total, not 9

Hello Everyone! I am preparing for my surgery, hopefully sometime in August, and I wanted to take a survey of how much time you all took off work? I have a desk job that doesn't require much physical work, do you think 7 work days, 9 total days would be ok? I just started a new job and will be taking it mostly unpaid and can't really afford much more than that... Thank you for your honesty and advice!!

Great post!! Any insight on the gassiness people talk about after surgery? I'm really nervous about that the discomfort it comes with. Thanks!

How long did the whole process take you? Congratulations on the early surgery date!

Hello everyone, I have been reading posts and exploring this website for a couple months now. I had my consult with the physician, behavioral medicine, nutrition and physical therapy. I haven't joined the six week class that they require yet, but I'm on the waiting list. Despite all this, I am feeling a little discouraged, I was really hoping the surgery would come sooner than what it seems. I know it will all be worth it in the end, and that none of these changes will come easy, but is there any other way to feel a little more control over the whole process?!
