Sorry David, I don't have any advice yet, I just wanted to wish you luck, my surgery is the day before yours so hopefully we will both have a smooth, speedy recovery!! Good luck to you on your journey, Katie

HI David. Just wanted to invite you to read my story. It really depends on your doctor. I was able to return to work after 1 week. I was on liquids -- chicken broth and won ton soup and popsicles, next mushies, -- couldn't wait for mashed potatoes! and then slowly start eating reg. food again. --small portions. Some people experience neck and shoulder pain for a few days which is gas pain. No driving (while you are on pain med.) which is usually a week or heavy lifting until your first follow up appointment. Hope this was a little helpful. I had my surgery in April of this year. Good Luck and keep reading. This is the best site. Take Care.

Thanks to the feedback I really appreciate it. I am so looking forward to the surgery and so not looking forward to it. My freinds created a healing circle for me last night people rock when you ask for support, don't they? Thanks again David
