I check in for my surgery tomorrow (3/22)! at 8am and am supposed to be the first person in!!! WHOOOOHOOOOOO! My birthday is Sunday (3/27) and this is by far the best gift I could have given myself. I had internalized stress a coped with a side of junk food for a while and I am beyond ready to get myself back on track. I gave my friends and family a disclaimer a few weeks ago that I am no longer holding my tongue and can not continue to be EVERYONE's emotional go to person- I was trying to be there for everyone but neglected myself tremendously.

But on a lighter note...how long did you stay in the hospital? I am expecting 2 days and planning to return to work Monday of next week (3/28) since I work a desk job.

How are you feeling? I had my surgery the day before yours. (3/21). Im a little sore, but find myself tired all day! I also have lupus, hashimotos and fibromyalgia that may be the issue.

I am feeling ok so far. Didn't nap much yesterday. I do have some sore spots on my stomach but I am still wearing the binder they put on me the day after surgery. The true test will be tomorrow after work.

Bless your heart. Going back to work so soon. I took 3 weeks of FMLA. The way I feel today….. I will need every second of it????

Aww I hope it gets better for you sooner than later! My DR was pushing for me to take 2wks but I tend to bounce back very fast. Plus I didn't tell my employer I was having surgery...my supervisor has the gift of gab and I didn't want to come back to playing endless rounds of the question game.

Mine is tomorrow and I only took a week as well. So I'll be back to work my desk job Monday- butttt I did tell my boss so if I'm not feeling the greatest I may need to take more time. Hoping I bounce back quick! Hope everyone is having a happy Easter and speedy recovery

It was suppose to be 2 weeks for me, but my autoimmune disorders 3 weeks is just right. Let me know how you feel on your 1st day back! Im a social worker, so Im NEVER at my desk (always out in the community).

Ok, this was my second day back and Im still tired! Hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things by next week.

Yes, please take it easy and give your body enough time to heal. Be careful

I will definitely take it slower tomorrow!
