KarissaKhaos 170 Posted January 5, 2013 I don't know about anyone else but I was back to almost normal activity by week 2. I went back to work 4 days afterwards and did fine, just a bit more tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AStephenson 159 Posted January 5, 2013 Not sleeved yet but when I had my gallbladder surgery I vacuumed slowly at two weeks out, leaning on the washer to pull out wet clothes or kitchen sink while doing dishes took a little longer before it didn't hurt. Don't try to do yard work that early though...I set myself back for weeks after that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gingerRN 81 Posted January 5, 2013 I vacuumed today at almost 4 weeks and started hurting after a few mins. I'm going with don't try again for another year theory : ) 2 SweetTee and AStephenson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
