I've had this suregey and it wasn't nearly as bad as I had heard! I was up and about and pretty much back to normal in less than 6 wks. I am also 55 and just had it done last Dec. Best thing I ever did!
I wish you the best!!! Keep us posted on how you're doing, please?

Really, I am just feeling kinda low. I have never had surgery in my whole 55 yrs except to have my tubes tied 24 years ago. It's sort of scary. Plus, I work 32 hrs per week alot of it on concrete floor standing all day. I am just scared how this is going to affect my finances. Has anyone else had this surgery? Your input would be most welcome.
