I believe it's an individual thing. I had a drain for 10 days and was quite sore on my right side. *That* was the very last thing on my mind!

Only (3) few days. ;) Just don't get crazy with positions. Be gentle.

My physician said three weeks, but I think it varies.

It was Day 5 or 6 post-op for me. But take it easy and don't do more than your body can handle. Make the other person do all the work!

From what I have seen, the general consensus of hospital nurses is that you at least wait until you get home - they really don't want to have to deal with that!

Mine didn't either.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
