Hello,
I was sleeved on 5/1/2012 and I was so depressed and almost angry at times - my doctor said that was because I was very nervous about everything and was/am having anxiety. Maybe check with you doctor and there might be something he/she can give and or recommend something that may help you. I walk - I can't walk far but I walk as much as I can and I really try to stay busy and most important to me - I get as much sun as I can take
I hope this helped you in some way - Good Luck

well, I'm 6 days post-op now.....I was told not to pick -up or stoop to the floor for anything, I can't hold anything that is heavier than a gallon of milk....and I'm not allowed to drive as long as I was taking the prescribed pain pills....
I live alone, but I have family who lives within 5 min of me and they stop by to check on my daily....I actually stayed with my aunt when I was released for about a day...and I've been at my home every since....
I would say you will need someone to be around you for atleast the first week....after that, as long as you have some who can call if you need something should help

My mom came down to stay with me and I would definitely say you need to have someone there for a minimum of 1 week. I am 4 days post-op and I know I couldn't do this solo. You are able to make your liquids and shakes and move about, but it's nice to have someone doing laundry for you, run to the store, take out the trash - essentially running your household while you can't. It's also nice to have someone there just in case something is needed.
