Just had sleeve on 6/27.. my biggest problem was pain. Especially along the waist line and below. I am still unable to bend at the waist . I needed help the first day after surgery at home. Had friends that would drop by daily and help with certain things I was unable to do. Definitely purchase a grabber to help you pick things up off the floor and it will help with doing certain tasks ..also if you have a pharmacy that delivers or a friend that can bring you what you need for a few days that is helpful. Good luck to you.
