Congratulations on recieving your revision date! I wish you much success!

For most folks it's usually a overnight stay and as long as you are able to get up and work around and their no major complications they release you with pain meds and instructions with regards to the first phase of eating which is Clear Liquids and definitly should continue to walk because those gas pains can be a pain. I don't know your level of pain but normally people take a week or two off just to get back to normal I don't know if you will be able to be back at work the next day, put I don't know how you handle pain.

I hope all goes well and keep us posted.

I would like to join but I do not want it to show on my page. I am choosing not to tell everyone about the surgery so is there a way for me to join and no one see it?
