Went to my surgeon's office and given the green light to go back to work on 11/4/2019. That feels good, but now my reversal on 11/19/2019. Not sure what to expect. If a few can give me advice on what is in store for me, it would be nice to hear. My surgery was done on 10/24/2019 and now the reversal. Kind of scared but happy at the same time. During my surgery, I will keep people updated on how I'm feeling and things like that. My surgeon is positive I will heal up quickly due to the fact of my age, but I wonder if that really makes that much of a difference since I'm 35. He's been doing it for 26 years and has a few awards as a surgeon. I am as nervous as a person can be.
