Well I have my date Nov 27th!! Just need to schedule my pre-op, appointment with the nutritionist to go over the 2 week liquid protein diet, and than surgery day will be here in no time!!

Now here is my question....i took a week off from work because I have a job that I sit at and don't do much lifting or anything to drastic. Do you think week is fine? My surgeon said it would be but wanted to get others feedback.

Congratulations! You will do well. Yes, one week will probably be fine. I took two weeks off, but could have gone to work three or four days after. Some people do have a harder time after surgery, and require more time though. I have read about some people needing three weeks, but those were special circumstances.

Make sure that you plan ahead. Have your liquids, snacks, meals ready so that you aren't scrambling last minute to get that stuff done.

Good luck!

I would recommend 2 weeks if you can afford. All people recover differently. On my 2nd week I was still quite low on stamina and commuting could be an issue.
