HI LINDA,
MY NAME IS MARY. I HAD MY SURGERY ON AUG.6,2008. IT WAS A VERY EASY
SURGERY FOR ME. I THINK THE WORSE PART WAS NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE.
WHEN I AM READY TO GO AND HAVING TO WAIT ON SOMEONE TO TAKE ME PLACES
DROVE ME CRAZY. I DID START DRIVING ON ABOUT DAY 5. YOU WILL BE A
LITTLE SORE AT FIRST. I THINK I WAS UP AND WALKING ABOUT 4 HOURS
AFTER MY SURGERY. YOU WILL BE A LITTLE SORE TRYING TO GET UP AND DOWN
FOR EXAMPLE GETTING OFF THE BED OR TOLIT. ANYTHING WHERE YOU HAVE TO
USE YOUR STOMACH MUSCLES. THE SURGERY IS NOT BAD.
