@@nerkerle, I had my sleeve on March 30th and I have a 2 year old & 15 year old daughters. While I was in the hospital, my sister took care of them because my boyfriend stayed with me in the hospital. The first two days I was home, I sent my little one to daycare. I wasn't strong enough to take care of her. She is very active. During the second week of recovery, my little one stayed home with me and I felt much, much better. I took 2 weeks off work and that was good enough for me. I am one of the few lucky ones. I have not had any complications, nausea of vomiting since surgery. I feel fantastic!
