Moving Advice post-sleeve please

[Mom2Luke 19]

Hello! My sleeve surgery is scheduled 1/11/17. I am scheduling when to close on my existing home and move into our new home. I'm a single Mom of a 12 year old which leaves more of the responsibility to me. I'll hire movers and will have the help of friends and family, but will still need to unpack. Realistically when will I feel up to this? I'd like to move mid March, 9 weeks after surgery. Thoughts?

I don't see a problem with it at 9 weeks.....of course everyone is different but for me after 2 to 3 weeks I felt fine.....I think most doctors say to give yourself 6 to 8 weeks to completely heal.

I'm 6 weeks post op from a duodenal switch, and I've got half my house packed up and in the garage. I'll be moving when I'm about 9 or 10 weeks post op. The thing is, I gotta do what I gotta do, and right now, that means packing and moving to another state. So far, I've only had minor issues with lifting heavy boxes and feeling the pull in my belly. Otherwise, a okay.

If you are healing normally, you should be able to do that. You should ask your surgeon what their advice is. You can be easily tired out so pacing yourself and not over doing it is key. Good luck and Congrats on your new home.

Aside from the lifting restrictions, I could have easily unpacked and set up a house at a couple weeks out.. You'll be more than fine by then to do that.
