Travel after surgery

[rocknrollmama1980 20]

I am in the researching phase but 98% settled on sleeve. The surgeon said I could go in October. I have a cruise booked thanksgiving week. Will I be ok to travel 3-7 weeks out?

Depends on your healing and your Dr. I was out of work for a month. We're all different.

One thing to keep in mind, will you be able to eat anything on the cruise during your puree and liquid phases? I know cruises are all about the food and you will want to make sure you have options that are healthy and also that the staff can accommodate your dietary needs.

I would not want to travel at 3 weeks out. 7 weeks yes.
