Driving; I was told 1 week and must be off any pain meds
Swimming: 2 weeks
Lifting: My surgeon said anything under 20 lbs was fine (I was cleared to pick up my 22lb 1 year old), but not do anything strenuous. Anything over 20 lbs, 4 weeks.
All surgeons are different and I've heard many different answers to these questions!

I was sleeved yesterday morning 04/23/2012 and I haven't even left the hospital yet but I'm already thrilled the I had this done. I was so nervous about the actual surgery that I never really let myself get too excited about the life changing possibilities it would have for me until now. It just hit me starting yesterday when I got to my hospital room that now I'm on the other side and will actually be one of those of you on the loser's bench!
