[cheechtrish 1]

Assuming all the insurance stuff goes as planned.... my VSG will be on 12/21.... what will my christmas be like??

I know i will be home- 2 nights in hospital puts me back home on 1/23.... will i be up and moving around- helping my kids open packages.... ?

I know i cant pick up anything heavy (so, not my 2 year old).... but will i be okay!!??

Thanks guys!!

Everyone recovers differently. You'll be sleepy, and probably still groggy and trying to adjust to the major changes in food intake. Your energy might be low, and you might be crabby. If you've had surgery before, can you recall how anesthesia effected you? I know I'm useless for the first couple of days post-op just because anesthesia kicks my butt.

Walking definitely helps, and getting in your fluids will assist in your recovery.

Fingers crossed all goes well with your insurance, and you're gonna love the sleeve ! ! !

I will be sleeved Dec. 20. We will be in this together! I am planning on having everything done for Chrismtas before my big day. I have three kids, so it will be interesting.

I will be sleeved on the 14th, and I think I will be just recovering in time for xmas, but I still plan to do everything ahead of time as much as possible. That way, you can just take it easy. Hopefully, someone else can take care of the cooking and whatnot so you don't have to take care of much. Just sit back and watch the xmas chaos unfold!!

I'm right there with you as my surgery is Dec. 22! My mother-in-law is cooking and taking care of dinner at her house so hopefully I can just rest and recover. I have to be back at work on Jan 3 so will have 12 days off. Sure hope I am okay to return to work (desk job). I finally have the date and am excited, nervous and not sure what else???
