Hi. I'm 5'9" and currently weigh about 164 pounds. I have 4 wonderful children who are 13,11,10,8. Needless to say my body took a hit. I really want to do this for myself, however I don't want anyone to know. And I hate missing my kids' activities. Is it possible to make it to my kids' basketball games as soon as 7 days after surgery? I have my first consultation in Jan. I'm very anxious to see what the PS has to say. Thanks!

Would you be trying to drive by day 7? I think I waited two weeks or more before even wanting to, the seat belt alone can be an issue. Turning to see behind you etc. You might need to miss a few things but you can't take the chance of overdoing it either. Wait to see how you feel because everyone is different like Angie said.

No I wouldn't be driving. Just going to watch the game. You are so right, that it's okay to miss a few things. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that already. Thanks for your input. : )
Hmmm...you might still be a bit hunched over by then. Possibly still with drains. But depending on how you heal, some women on RealSelf could've done it. Hopefully you'll be one of those lucky ones.
I'm excited for you that you get to do this for yourself! Please keep us posted throughout your consultation process!
