How long before you leave the house?

I'm most likely going to have my surgery the second week of June. My cousin has her wedding on June 23rd....do you think I'll be able to make it? Someone I know had it done and two weeks later he was out, going back to school, walking around, etc. I hear different things from different people. What's "typical" for healing with this surgery?

Everyone is different, but I was out and about doing normal things when I left the hospital. I was on vacation and nothing bothered me.

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

A good week of recovery should o you good and oing o her wedding should work out fine. ENJOY!

I was a baby! Unlike Wonder Woman up there^

I didn't feel like doing anything besides just going out for about an hour or so for a couple of weeks!

I didn't feel like going out for about 3-4 weeks after surgery.

Everyone is different though

Yes I admit my recovery was unusual and even the dr and staff kept questioning me, but I guess I was fortunate.. Not wonder woman

I'm very pig headed and wasn't going to waste a sunny vacation in MX/Southern Cali.

I was back up and getting around a few days after surgery. I had the surgery on a Monday. On Friday, I felt good enough to drive, pick up the kids at school, and do some errands. I was still a little tired, but pretty much up and around. However, some people do take longer to recover.

I'm lazy! I wasn't going to waste a perfectly good opportunity to lay around in bed and not have to care for my husband and those ingrates (the kids) that live with me

Surgery on Thursday, home on Friday, slept through Saturday, cuddled on the couch with the kids on Sunday, cuddled with the puppy after a drive to Walsuck for an air conditioned walk around today and plan to be out doing my thing tomorrow unless the Mr. has a better offer tomorrow.

Our pool just opened, too, so I may milk a few days more just for a tan. I am my own boss, so I will give myself the time if it gives me a bronzed glow. Tan fat is much prettier than white fat, IMO.

Surgery Friday morning. Slept pretty much through both Friday and Saturday except to do some walking and sipping. Sunday I took two naps and went to bed around 9:30. Woke up today surprised at how good I was feeling. My husband took the day off in case I needed anything. I went to see my parents (sometimes a reassurance phone call just isn't enough) and went to a movie. My husband did all the driving and the walks weren't too far. I have felt from day one that I have been lucky in my recovery with no vomiting or nausea and only gas pain Friday and Saturday. I'm hopeful that the rest of my recovery is this good!
