Any doctor who tells you that you can go to work 1 day after from what I experienced
from my surgery is smoking crack!!!! Sorry!!! I am 55, and this has been a very
painful experience. Yesterday is the 1st day I felt 1/2 way decent, but not fully recovered
yet. I sell furniture, and have a big floor to cover, as I walk around and check back with
customers, check stock, and write orders. Has really been an ordeal for me. Anxious to get back to my normal way of living.

Ok - Definately a lot to be desired. Explained procedure just fine. Definately didn't give you an idea of how bad recovery could be. Although, I'll cut them some slack. Maybe they havn't had a patient have as big of a lipoma like I had. 9 cm X 8 cm deep isn't exactly normal. But they should have given consideration to the size of the lipoma. If any one has any comments, I certainly would welcome them.

Hi there, welcome!

If you don't mind sharing, how long was your recovery, before you felt like you were back to normal?
