What's the guideline for the amount of weight you can lift after surgery: how much and how long after? I don't mean lifting weights as in weightlifting, but more like: "You cannot lift more than 5 pounds for a week post surgery."

I'm having SADI-S procedure next week laparoscopically. I've been advised that I will have "drains" placed. Of course I will ask my doctor what this means, but can any laypeople interpret what this is and why I need it?

How did it go?

It was not done correctly the first time.

My surgery is in 1 month: 1 am a self-pay LOOP DS (Sadi-S) candidate in Mexico. I'm paranoid that I'll get there and my surgery will be canceled the day before due to some rare/hidden health issue. For reference, I had a slipped lap band about 5 years ago and a gastric sleeve 4 years ago. So, this is my THIRD surgery. I currently don't have any concerning symptoms, except for a very large sleeve. I don't have any current barium swallow x-rays, so I will be getting them the day before surgery. It is on that day (the day before) that I will find out if the surgery will proceed. This is what I'm so nervous about. I'm curious about reasons anyone else was deemed unfit to undergo surgery!
