You should be fine. As long as everything goes well with your surgery, you will be able to walk around. As @frust8 said to remember to drink lots of liquids and to take breaks when necessary. No need to be like a New Yorker trying to catch their connecting train lol.

I am 2.5 weeks out and yesterday I grudgingly walked around a mall all day with my friend. I drank what I thought was enough Water, but today I woke up and my calves were sore - like a dehydrated sore. I did not get enough water in and my urine was darker than usual. Yeah, no pain in the abdomen, but make sure you REALLY drink your 64 oz water goal everyday.

I would still get up and walk even if it's in a train car. Stasis is not your friend at that time. And don't forget your fluids!

With no complications, you should be fine - just drink all your liquids, and put your feet up, and nap. The big risk is dehydration.

I had a BMI of just over 40. I’m 36 and I’m good shape otherwise. I was fine to walk long distances 2 weeks post op. I was not ok lifting anything heavy but walking was fine. Travel in stretchy not restrictive clothing. You should be fine
