How are you getting on with your band Rachel? What's it like first fee days? I read that they are the worse ones. I have booked 10 days off work, do you think that is realistic?
What time did they discharge you the next day?
Oh it's all questions!
Hope you are feeling alright?

The first few days are hard. I had 2 weeks off. I did have to go in for an exam a week after though! I could have gone back sooner if I had too but good to have no pressure. I'm 5 1/2 weeks post op now and can still be tired after a full day. Xx
