It took me about 3 weeks to recover and have enough energy to make it through a work day. Even after 3 days, I remember still being pretty tired. First week was in the hospital because of a couple complications. I have a desk job, but still didn't feel like sacrificing my health by returning too early. All is well now.

First few day were hell! By 1 week post op I felt 100%. Problem is getting fluids in while returning to normal life.

I had surgery May 1, was out shopping and gardening in May 3. I didn't go back to work until the 13th though easily I could have gone back a week sooner.

Wow that's crazy itsme! My doctor doesn't even discharge from the hospital until day 4,,, And was cautioned about taking it easy while there.....
