Well, I had my surgery on the 6th of March..by day 2 I was walking arouind by myself, drinking water well..I had to stay till Fri, not because of the surgery, but because I had a viris I caught from someone before the surgery.
I am at home now..feeling so good. I am tolerating liquids, and some puree foods. I have no pain...and feel strong.
I am thinking I am ready to go back to work..(work in daycare with 2-5 year olds)..So I know I will need to take it abit easy.
Today I recieved a letter for my follow up for Dr Andrews, and my app't is April 25!..That seems so long away.
My question, do I need to see him before going back to work?.I have an app't with my GP tommor,
I could have him look at my stitches and see what he says.
I just feel impatient...as usual!

I fully agree -- don't go back to work too soon!! Working in a daycare with small children must be pretty strenuous, so you shouldn't rush to go back too soon. Your body needs time to recover. I assume you probably pick children up. I was told not to lift over 10 lb for three weeks. (I had VSG.)

I must agree with all posts, do not go back right away. Your body is still on a high!!
Take a test, go the mall and walk around for a hour, see how you feel. Then up the time, and try again.
