Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hooray! So glad to hear the meeting went well and you are optimistic. It is pretty amazing to eat after not being able to.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 HI ,  Dr. Dempsey is not God (my words, not yours), but as a top flight surgeon, combined with such compassion for his patients, he is right up there. Good luck with your surgery and recovery.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Thank you. Now may I ask how long after surgery before you can walk normally with little pain in your abs.. Does a week of relaxing and semi walking help the recovery enough? I am curious since I am getting surgery on the 19th and I start school on the 29th. katie in philadelphia.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 , that is only 10 days? You maybe tender still and I would not carry heavy books or anything like that, check with your doctor first! I was out of work for 2 weeks and still had to be careful lifting anything for at least a month. You want to heal well, and not mess up this surgery! Best of luck!  Julee So.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 , I was up and walking the same day...within a few hours. They recommend going walking to help get the gas out of your system, otherwise you'll have gas pains in your shoulder. I walked the next day and was moving like nothing was wrong. Of course you don't want to lift too much...my Dr. said 10lbs. was the limit. A gallon of milk weighs ~8lbs. I pushed on some days and did lift up to 30, but don't recommend it. There wasn't a day I was 'down and out', laying in bed, or anything like that. I was fortunate.  I never had pain from the incisions at all. I had my surgery on Aug. 3 and could have returned to work last week, but stayed home to deal with the spasms. I'm going back Monday the 15th.  Good luck!  Messages in this topic (7) Recent Activity: * New Members 7 Visit Your Group Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use ..

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 - I was out of work for a week but off painkillers in 4 days. I was tired for about 2 weeks, just kind of drained, but it didn't seem to bother me to walk a little here and there. (I'm early 30s if that matters) Most of my pain was in my shoulder area. > >> > >> i just came from Dr. Dempsey at the University of Penn and I must say he is such a nice guy and very helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have read by several people that they are drained for awhile. I am really getting worked up about the surgery and I am really worrying about right after the surgery and how I am going to feel.
