    Hi Libra77,

    I am scheduled on Sept 1 and can't wait! You will be about what, 6 days before me. Are you on a pre op diet? My BMI is 33.6 so no pre op diet for me which is ok. I come home to an empty house after surgery. I hope I will be able to function alone (husband out of town) From what I have read we should feel pretty good post op. Hope that is true for me! Keep us updated on your progress!

    Hello and congrats itsabouttime! I went back to work at 11 days post op, but felt pretty sore... But it all depends on how you heal... Are you normally a fast healer? I could not have done it in 7 days, but was ok about 10 days out, but then again I am not at a desk or in air conditioning a lot at work - so you might do fine... Good luck!

    Welcome, itsabouttime. I travelled seven hours by car the day after the surgery. I wasn't in much pain at all, but was very tired. I could have functioned very easily alone. You may be different.
