post op was alrite. Could do anything properly for the first 2 days. It got better as the days went by. At a week time, it was kinda hard walking with the compression vest because, everytime i walked, my chest was paining (it's managable). I suggest u tell u give ur supervisor a doctor's note. Well, surgery cost me $1680 because my PS dont like to charge soo much to students. Well good luck with ur surgery.
