Recidivist 1,141 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I had surgery a couple of times before bypass, so the people around me already knew that I'm not terribly pleasant when I'm recovering and basically steered clear of me in the first couple of weeks. This surgery is more major than many of us realize, and it's understandable that you are not yourself. I'd recommend a conversation with your family to express what you need (and don't need from them)--and apologize in advance for any future crankiness.

GradyCat 3,695 Posted February 1, 2021 Can you gently tell them that you do better alone and will ask for help if you need it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vcruz591 1 Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) it can also be due to the surgery itself i'm a year and half+ post op and still have snappy moments. It's due to now having a different hormonal balance due to the sleeve. Edited February 1, 2021 by vcruz591 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WafflingWafa 17 Posted February 2, 2021 Can you gently tell them that you do better alone and will ask for help if you need it? Yes@GradyCat agree communication always is good After Id given myself a little alone time I ended up explaining ( after I'd apologised) that having every one hovering was making my head spin . Today every one gave me more space and just checked every 6hr or so if I needed anything ( I gave a todo list of the slightly heavier chores!)Still a bit fuzzy headed, hope it clears soonI'm now at day 7 post opSent from my SM-N975F using BariatricPal mobile app 1 GradyCat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll need to be mindful of that too down the roadTrueThe surgery does more than just reduce the volume of your stomachSent from my SM-N975F using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
