I am going to book my surgery for May 1st!!
I will be using Dr. Cabrera and Dr. Valenzuela. I am super excited, but a little scared; I think that's probably to be expected.
Here is what I'm concerned with...
I am taking a vacation to Cancun in June, leaving on June 12th. A big part of that vacation will involve swimming. Should I be healed enough by that date to partake in such activities? I am thinking I should be, but don't want to risk anything.
Most surgeons tell you no heavy lifting or strenuous exercise for 6 weeks after surgery, so you should be right about at 6 weeks June 12. For sure, though, ask Dr. Cabrera. Christie told me if I had questions before the surgery I could talk to the doctor if I wanted to. Maybe you should do that. I am leaving Thursday morning for surgery Friday - I can't believe it's finally here! I hope I live through the clear liquids for the next 3 days!!
