I have a 7 year old so my husband took off two weeks of FMLA. Since I couldn't lift anything more than 10 pounds for several weeks, he had to do the grocery shopping, carry the laundry up and down stairs, take care of the cats and anything else that required heavy lifting. He ran all the errands, took my son to school and picked him up after. I slept a lot and was totally exhausted when I was awake so I can't imaging having had to do it without him.

Thanks for the reply hockeyfan7. I wondered bc we have a 4 and 1 yr and didn't know bc our dr say he does not put you on any restrictions after surgery. He says if it hurts then don't do it bc he wants you to get back to a normal rountine.

My husband and I are both being sleeved. He was sleeved last week and I will be sleeved in three weeks. Our doctor encouraged them to be spread out do that while one is recovering the other will be there to drive, handle the kids, take care if the house, etc. we have 4 kids ages 4. 5, 8, 10 and the last week would have been challenging had we both been sleeved. I would encourage you to spread them out by a few weeks do that one parent us healing, the other functional.
