How long after surgery before you feel "yourself "



Recommended Posts

Hey all~ my surgery is scheduled for October 10. Is it realistic that I will feel well enough for a little weekend getaway by October 21??

Thanks in advance!

I'm 9 days out of surgery and would feel well enough for a weekend getaway, depending on what type of activities are planned.

Depends what you are planning on doing. A relaxing getaway with some walking, sure. My doc recommended waiting two weeks for sex. I waited 12 days as my husband was going out of town for a week. It wasn't comfortable, but not painful.

Make sure you bring along stuff you can eat. That's difficult.

I had surgery on 8/8 and I already feel like I could do a weekend getaway except for the low energy. If it's relaxing, low key stuff, I'd be fine now (6 days post op).

I was walking the mall four days after the sleeve. I was 68 then and needed no pain pills. Plan your meals carefully and relax. Have a good time.
