Hi, I'm new to this site and am scheduled for sleeve surgery on June 22nd. I am in college and have 7 days from surgery date until classes start back. Does this sound possible or am I over stretching a bit? Just not sure what to expect so any advice is appreciated. Thanks! 😊

I was away from two and a half weeks. I slept pretty much 24/7 the first week!

Do you have classes all day once the semester starts? If you could take it easy during your second week post-op it might be OK, but prepare to be exhausted!

I had r&Y on 3/10 and went home on 3/11 sleep a lot that first week. Was moving around more but tired easy that 2nd week. Went back to working a full office schedule the start of my 3rd week. If you take t easy and try to get in lots of rest you might be ok.

I will be having the sleeve surgery and will have classes 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) I was hoping with the breaks in the schedule I would be ok. Thank you for replying!! 😊😊

I had surgery on a Tuesday, went back to work Monday. The first week I worked short days because I was SO tired from the anesthesia... after that worked my normal schedule.
