j.sierra05@yahoo.com 21 Posted October 1, 2017 Im eligible for Gastric sleeve surgery in November. Im trying to figure out if I should do it in November or wait until after the semester is over in December. I was told that a lot of people try and do their surgery in December since it is the end of most patients insurance calendar so I want to be able to get done before then. Im currently enrolled in nursing school and Im wondering how people felt after surgery. How tired are you after surgery? Would it be manageable to have surgery and continue with school? Thoughts/opinions??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrinas 3 Posted October 1, 2017 Im post op 8 days and I get tired pretty often, I'm sure once I start my Vitamins and pureed food it will get better though but right now I couldn't imagine having to deal with much schoolwork. Congratulations and good luck with your surgery. [emoji3] Angie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandeis 401 Posted October 1, 2017 Do it over the break, I say. Not being stressed out about other things will be a huge help in your recovery. You might feel totally fine, or you might feel like utter crap -- it seems a "better safe than sorry" thing, to me. T_T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lele6173 5 Posted October 1, 2017 I am six weeks out and still have days when I’m exhausted. I’d say do it during your break. You also need to be able to focus getting your fluids and Protein. That can be a job within itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
