back to work in 4 days!

I had 2 surgery’s at once, a hysterectomy and a hernia repair, 2 Doctors, hernia surgery followed hysterectomy. Hysterectomy was lapascopic assisted vaginal, ovaries remain, everything else went! I was in the hospital overnight, released on wednesday and went to work on Saturday. A little sore but most seemed to be from the hernia repair. It’s now been 2 1/2 weeks and my life is back to normal except I no longer have to worry about constant bleeding and anemia I am 55 and had fibroids. BTW, I work retail, 50 hrs/week on my feet. Only took 4 days off. If you are having the same problem I would recommend this. Only taking 4 days off may not be for everyone, but it worked for me

    Good day to all, Dr. Wachs and his office staff were wonderful to and for me. They treated me with dignity and respect. I was amazed at how easy the procedure was, how painless it was and how quick I was back to work. [more..]

    I’m a 33 year old female, and I just had surgery on 10/30/2009. It went fine, according to the doctors; my entire sigmoid colon was taken out, but I knew that going in. Today’s 11/3/09, and I’m still in the hospital. [more..]
