I've dealt with a lot of patients who've had this surgery. This is a very simple operation, BEN DAN. As I'm sure you already know from experience, it's the anesthesiologist who needs to know thier stuff, not the surgeon. Even the aftercare is simple and straightforward. Please rest your head about this one. If there was anything to be nervous about I would certainly tell you the truth.

I've never gone through anything like that but I want you to know that you will be in my prayers and thoughts. Your body has really taken a beating huh? Let's hope that this is the last operation for you. Sending you (((hugs))) and love from me, Terri

thanks phillis I appreciate it...Do you have any idea of how long I will be 'out of commission' for gardening etc...they don't know whether it is just day surgery or overnight surgery at this point...I'm guessing a week or two before I am able to do simple chores requiring a lot bending. Is that about right?

I'd look at two weeks, but I'd go with 3 to be safe. It isn't just the skin that has to mend back together, it;s the musculature, too, which has a different structure to it than skin does. They have a few layers of stitching to do.
