I am ready to get my surgery date, Sept. 21st--very excited!!!  But, I planned a cruise for Nov. 13th.  Is 7 1/2 weeks enough time to recover before my trip.  My surgery is happening faster than I expected.  I need advise QUICK!!!

enjoy your trip!

that is plenty of time to start feeling normal and be able to eat a bit more normally- you will be on solid food by then and know what your sleeve can and cannot handle

you may find yourself a bit more fatigued after some of the activities, it does take the body a while to recover but rest assured you will be fine to do most anything

have fun!

Absolutely enough time.  I was back at work the week after my surgery.  Good luck with your surgery and bon voyage!

Do you think you can handle all that gorgeous food around 24/7 and knowing that you will not be able to eat much of anything?? At that point, I think you will probably still be on soft food/ mushy stage.. not positive. That is not the kind of food that is going to be around much on a cruise.  How are you going to feel having a protein drink in your cabin, knowing how much you paid NOT to be able to eat?  Personally, I would save the cruise for a later time.

 Enjoy your cruise! I was back at work on the 7th day after my VSG a few weeks ago. I took it easy, but no major issues.
