Singing Post-Op

Hello ~ Seeking advice from other singers on singing post-op please.  I had bypass surgery 3 weeks ago, after 2 week I did a 45 min showcase and was dizzy afterwards.  A week later I did 2 sets and got really exhausted toward the end of the 2nd set.  Tonight I did another 2-set gig and had to sit through most of the 2nd set.

I remember the Dr. saying your diaphragm gets bruised in surgery but he told me I should be ok to sing after 2weeks.  Now I'm thinking I shouldn't have committed so soon because I'm having a hard time.  Anyone want to share their experience and advice with me?  Please tell me this gets better, singing is part of my livelihood so I'm really concerned right now.

Thanks a lot :)
