Debbie,

I found the post where you described your complications. Thanks from all of us on being so honest and sharing.

God bless you!

patty.... my surgeon wants everyone to be out of work for 4-6 weeks, but some went back after a week. with no ill effects, i might add. but they were in a position that they could pretty much come and go, and they weren't on their feet lecturing to a whole bunch of squirmy kids.

i was cleared to go look for a job after 6 weeks [my company folded while i was on disability before the surgery, so by the time the surgery was scheduled, i was unemployed, and had to buy health insurance on my own. ick!]. i was so very sick going into the surgery that i just wasn't up for the effort until i'd lost some weight. adn at that point, let's see.. i think i'd lost about 50 pounds in 6 weeks. it made a real big difference in my mobility.

ask anything!!!! we can handle it!!! honest!!
