Hi
I'm new to posting.  I've been reading the posts since April.  Thanks for all the information and encouragement.  I have just been able to move my surgery date up to Aug 11.  Thank God, I'm hoping in won't cause me to miss the kids games starting in sept.

Hi, Dexter.  What will you have done and where?

Welcome to the board. 

If your having Lap procedure, you  should have no problems attending games.  I was back to work in a week and a half.  My surgery was Thursday and was really ready to go back to work.  I am an accountant, so I have a desk job, which made it easier.

Best of luck

Pam

Lisa,

I had my surgery (laproscopically, which I assume yours is too) on a Tuesday, and I was back at my desk job the following Monday. I probably could have gone back on Friday, but I had the vacation time, so I didn't go in. (Also I had to have a drain, even after I left the hospital and that made me kind of uncomfortable.)

By the time September rolls around, you should be good to go without a problem. Maybe a little fatigue, but if you have two kids involved in activities and sports, I'm sure your already used to that!

Hi there!

I'm in Dexter too.  Still pre-op - but anxiously waiting...  Where are you having your surgery?  And what games?  (my kids are 11 and 14...)

Hi Lisa-
I'm lara nelson - my kids, Matthew and Sara are 14 and 11.  They're involved in baseball/softball during the spring and wrestling/basketball during the winter.  Matthew is giving football a try this fall.  I'm sure we're likely to be on the "field areas" around the same times.  Good luck with your surgery and I agree with your later post that we should start an area support group!

Welcome, Lisa. 

I had my surgery (lap RNY) on August 11, 2005!  Woo hoo!  Where are you having surgery done?  I wasn't working when I had surgery, but I would say that three weeks from surgery date, I felt completely normal, again, with the exception of what I ate...so...hopefully, you'll be able to make the games in Sept. 

Congrats!  Tina

Oh, by the way, I live in Chelsea.

Hey that is great.  It's exciting to have others so close.  We will have to start a local support group.Lisa
