Hey I want the opioin of all those who have goneunder the knife already. After fighting on the phone I just got a call back from the U of M to schedual surgery.

HOW LONG is recovery time REALLY?? They are telling me I would be off school for 4 weeks. I do drive there but there is no lifting, ect. Can I go back if I did on spring break? So we are talking having it and going back in a 1 1/2 weeks or so?? Can it be done?

How soon were you back to work? Can I stadn sitting for 3-4 hours a day that soon?

Thanks guys, I need responses! She is going to call me back today!! WOO HOOO!! THANKS Luv to you all!

What kind of PS? (I'm sorry -- I know you've probably discussed this on other threads, but this one doesn't say!)

If TT or TT/BL, I could have gone back to school after 2 weeks -- not before because I couldn't have driven. I couldn't have lifted anything at 2 weeks, but I could have driven and gone to class. Maybe even at 10 days, though that's really pushing it.

I know you're going to hear this over and over, but the unknown is whether you'll have complications. It's not likely, but if you do, it could jeopardize your whole semester. That said, if it were me (though I'm self-admittedly aggressive), I would do it. Take the extra week off and just do it.

Yeah, I have thought about this more and more. I am not going to do it.

I am getting a TT and a breast reduction. Last thing I want is to sit in class with drains. I just don't want to take a semester off and I take summer classes, but I am going to do it so I can get it done.

It was supposed to be over xmas break but thanks to incompitence it didn't happen. I shouldn't push myself to get it done and be sorry later I think!

Thanks Julie! You are a rock star, I don't think I am at your level! :)
