gastric sleeve recovery with little one
I am scheduled to have surgery in a week and reality is sinking in... I am so excited to have a second chance at life, I guess it's just the what ifs (I'm sure we all get them) My question is I have young baby 6 months old, is there anyone out there that had the gastric sleeve that had a baby?? If so were you able to care for the baby right after you came home.. looking for some insight on recovery... Thanks

You'll need your own care for a couple of days but after that, I don't see any reason you can't at least feed/dress baby. But lifting is a no-no so good that you've got help for 2 weeks.
I was up and doing a lot after about day 5, but you wear out really fast. And forget laundry, don't pick up that basket. I made my older kids do all the laundry during that time and my mom stayed with me 2 weeks, so helpful.
