I work at a school and I have my surgery two days before I go back to work and a week before kids return. What was it like going to work post op? How long did it take for you to go back to liquid?

Anyway you can get it moved up by two weeks? You won't know how YOU will feel until its over and that is cutting it close...

Teacher? Or support staff? Sitting, bending, lifting? You can't pick up anything with any weight for many weeks.

Being dehydrated is a big risk, unless you can drink/sip constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY the first few weeks you risk hospitalization with an IV. I was dizzy and needed naps the first two weeks, not much pain but serious adjustments to getting fluids, lots of gas - I'm talking blow acrossed the room tuba gas, and difficulty pooping. I would also suggest surgery two weeks earlier or take two weeks off work.

Support staff for now ok that is the earliest I can have the surgery
