WhoKnows 288 Posted August 30, 2014 At three days out I was still really, really tired. I didn't start leaving the house for more than a walk to get the mail until about two weeks out. But that's just me. Some people's early healing phase goes much more quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted August 30, 2014 There's no rule ... just go out when you feel OK to do so. After three days, you might not want to be driving ... surgical anesthetics are still rattling around in our systems. I was lightheaded for more than a week post-op. I'm 12 days out now, and drove yesterday for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) when did people go out @@alyce day after surgery i went roller blading around the block kiddddding since you didn't mention any problems like gas, being extra tired.......... sounds like you are moving, recuperating well do whatever you think feels right for you in your daily routine would you be driving the car? or be a passenger? hair cut - go for it!! I see you definitely need a trim walking around the block etc is also fine (good exercise too) grocery store, mall - for me i would wait only cuz i was more tired than my "norm" if it feels right - and doc says ok - great if you doubt anything about anything - always talk to your doc you and your tummy just had majory surgery you and it both need to take it easy that being said - whatever movement you are comfortable with, it should be ok its whatever works for you - just take baby steps at first (no roller blading yet!!) ALWAYS listen to your body again check wiwth the doc if you have any questions he is the smartest person (except me of course) good luck take care continued speedy recovery kathy Edited August 30, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
