PO 23 for me, went back to work rhis week. Fulltime! 9 hr shift each day. Big mistake! It wasn't eaay. Very exhausted, sore and swollen by afternoin. I think it's best if you start work partrime first and increase your hours by the week.
Great review?

How's the standing going?

Over my 3rd week, standing straight most of the day. By evening little hunch over because of some tightness under the ribcage.

I think the poop thing is the worst part of this whole surgery. Congrats on being on the flat side. You are going to love your results!
