Congratulations on your decision and successful surgery. As I mentioned before, I felt fine and ready to go after the catheter was removed. But after a 1/2 day at work I felt lousy. My body was using more energy to heal internally, running me down. This was not from physical labor, I mostly sit at a computer all day. I should have taken more time off. Over the next few months you will feel a lot of different things, I never had any pain, but sitting at the computer or TV for hours can give me discomfort. When I am up and moving around I feel fine. I said to the doc that I still wasn't feeling 100%, he said you are 100% of what you are going to be from now on.
