My surgery is not until the 27th, but I was told at least a week, and that someone should drive me to my first follow up appointment.

Thanks. I was told that no restrictions as long as it wasn't an hour drive and I was no longer on pain medication. My surgery was on 9/13. I want to be able to take my son to school.

The post op papers say 24 hours, but you will be too tired. I drove 3 days later. I had to get my kids somewhere. It was fine. Felt good to move and get out of the house.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
