I really want to get this sorted and be able to drink and run without worrying but I am terrified something will go wrong. Also, I am wondering how long it will take to build up my fitness again. The consultant says I can slowly start running again in two to three weeks though other surgeons apparently say to take it very easy for six weeks.

I am just a middle of the pack , mid 40s plodder but having only got fit in the last few years I don't want to lose the gains I have made.

Anyway, has anyone here had this done? Would you recommend it and how long before you got back to your pre op running pace? Thanks.
