A little late as usual I am only behind by 18 digests :-) I've had several major operations while breastfeeding. It always took a minimum of 3 days to get anything close to a supply back. If it was along procedure then sometimes 5 days. I think it is both the boy needing the reserves and the meds they give you to dry up "secretions" during surgery.
