I'm deciding my surgery dates and I obviously want to get it done sooner rather than later. I want to do it the beginning of November (like the 5th or 12th), but my band has a show on the 22nd of November and I wasn't sure how recovery works and if that is enough time in between.

How long has it taken for you guys to feel normal again (other than the eating and hunger part, I know that's going to be different lol).

I took a week off and was fine to go back to work. Others have taken longer to feel better. Everyone is different.

I had my surgery on October 1 and am returning to work on Monday. I am far enough along in my recovery that I was able to go trail walking with my family today for about 5 miles. Everyone is different of course, but I would think that if you had the earlier date in November you would be able to still perform on the 22.
