Put them teens to work I say! LOL! Builds character!

Definitely take it easy!

Are you bearing weight on it already? or do you have to be off of it for an extended time. Definitely take it easy so that you don't have any set backs!

I don't know if arthroscopic surgery is the same as laparoscopic.. Probably similar. I think these advances help minimize the invasiveness of the procedures.. I benefitted from laparoscopic gall bladder surgery several years ago.. Aside from the bloating feeling for a couple of days and all that 'air' having to work it's way out... my recovery was dramatic.. Had my surgery on a Tuesday, was out Wednesday and at high school orientation (albeit a little slowly) for my daughter on Thursday.

I think they can even do gastric bypass laparoscopically now!
