Took the whole 6 weeks allowed. The pain was a lot better after 3 weeks but I was just not myself. Extremely tired all of the time. Plus eating is still very uncomfortable for me. Well thats my story but everyone is different. Good luck Hi Brandy-<br> I had my surgery on July 5th & I

It all depends on you and how you feel.<br>Which BTC are you going to? All of their paperwork seems to go through their headquarters - the Michigan office - so it take a bit longer for insurance approval to get to your center. They will call when they can schedule you for surgery but it might not hurt to call and see if your paperwork is all together and ready to go.<br>Good Luck!<br>Anne<br>7/30/01<br>BTC Ohio - Dr. K Brandy-<br>I was back to work on a part time

Yeah, I go to school also. I don't think that will be a problem. I might start to fit in the chairs a little better :) I just didn't know about work. My son is 8 and he is at the age were he can help me a lot. I will just have to live with the house being a mess until I feel better because he isn't the best at putting away anything. I just didn't know if I would over do it if I went back in 2 1/2 weeks or not. I've got the time to take off of work, it's just that I'm needed at work and I hate to leave for that long. Three weeks away from there does sound tempting!<br><br><br>Does anyone that is going to BTC know if you should wait for them to call you or should I call them to tell them I've been approved?<br><br>Thanks, <br>Brandy Thanks!

I was at school taking finals 4 and 6 days post-op, but was not feeling good until I was about 2 weeks post-op. I also had some problems with my staple line and it took nearly 5 weeks to heal. I'm a full time mother of a very active 4 year old and full time student so I did not have to go to work like you will do, my job never ends :) The recover time really depends on the person. I
