Recovery

[ladydj 17]

Hi there everyone! I am scheduled to be sleeved at the end of August. YAY!! My concern is I am a fulltime college student and I'm wondering if I will be able to attend school for the fall semester since I will be just coming out of surgery when the semester begins. Any info you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Blessings!!

I'm out two days and can only manage to sip and walk. I am very tired. Remember we are not able to get in much of anything. 48 oz was my goal this week and that includes Protein and Water. I can't imagine trying to do schoolwork right now. Plus my eyes go cross eyed on this medicine sometimes lol

Thanks Kami63! I was hoping that I would be able to still attend class. Congrats to you being sleeved!!!

Thanks no regrets just tired. Would you have any time off before class starts?

Had I been a student, I think I could have gone back to school after one week.

I was going to go back to school 2 weeks after surgery. I decided not to because learning to work this sleeve will be an education in and of itself. Spring semester starts in January 2014. I think by then I should have evrything under control

I can't imagine going anywhere or doing anything for at least 2 weeks post op - but that is my experience. I work from home and have not been able to restart working and I am almost 3 wks post op.

I think it depends on your internal drive and how you tolerate things. As an ER nurse, I was ready to go back to work in 5 days. Some people don't recover as quickly. It's a very individualized thing.
