So far only taking 2 weeks. But they may make me take off longer.

October 24th Here. Dr. Diaz - Single Incision in TJ, Mexico

So far only taking 2 weeks. But they may make me take off longer.

My surgeon says 3 but I'm going to ask for 4 minimum. I work at one of those hospitals where we do everything, and I barely get a chance to pee or get a glass of Water some days. I don't want to get sick going back too soon. I'm going to try to weasel another month out of them if I can

That sounds like a good idea!! I would love to take off a month to be sure I don't screw anything up. but we'll see. I know exactly what you're saying when you talk about no pee breaks and no water! We've been having a lot of those days lately. Gotta love September!

My 2wk pre op consists of 3 protein drinks a day, water, broths, soups and jello. Its very similar to what my Dr prescribed for 2wks after surgery. I'm already mourning food! Lol
