If I get approved for surgery then it will be at St. Marys and Elizabeth hospital.

How late in the day was your surgery? Anyone who was the last one of the day?

Also, I'm in college and have some very HEAVY books. I will have a roller bag but I live on the second floor with only a flight of stairs to get up and down. How soon were you able to lift heavy things like a heavy book bag (also in and out of the car)?

Thanks,

Sandy

Well the time of surgery is up to your surgeon - I have seen them from 6 AM to as late as 4pm. If you have a time restriction you need to check with your surgeon.

I was on a 10lb restriction for 2 weeks and then 20lb for weeks 3 and 4.

I was the last surgery of the day. I had my surgery at 4pm on a Wednesday and got out of the hospital at 2pm the next day. I was on a 10lb restriction for 6 weeks

Thanks for all the replies. It gives me some ideas how to manage my life around the surgery :smile2:
