Surgery today!

I am having surgery this morning with Dr. Borland in New, Iberia. I am very nervous as to what to expect after surgery. I have three boys 1, 7, and 11. How soon until I can lift the one year old? How soon until I feel normal enough to do what I used to do before surgery??

Good luck today--I'm sure all will go well!  Keep us updated---as far as lifting, you will have a weight restriction for 6 weeks--your doctor will give you that.  I think you'll be surprised how good you'll feel in a few days--you will be more easily tired for about 4 weeks but still able to do your normal daily activities----Here's to a new you!--Lisa

Congratulations! 

I'm almost 2 weeks post-op.  The only discomfort I had for a few days was when I bent over to pick something up from the floor.
