Recovery Time After surgery

I stayed two nights in the hospital and had minimal pain and no nausea.  I didn't need any prescription painkillers after day two. I went shopping for about 3 hours within a week.  I went back to work after two weeks.  HOWEVER, at about 4 weeks post-op, my energy level is about half of what it was pre-surgery.  I think the significant calorie reduction is a factor so consider that fact when making your post-op plans.   Good luck!  This is an exciting time in your life and whatever your recovery looks like, it will be worth it.
