I am going from band to sleeve in 3 weeks, and i am due to travel from N.Y. to Georgia on the 23 of december for christmas, while i am there we will be taking a 5 hour 4 day trip to Savannah site seeing etc. do u think i will be up to it, my grandchildren are 7 and 9 and are so excited about the trip? thanks vicki~~

I think as long as you have no major complications (and I am certain you will not) you should have no problem going and having a great time!

I should think so! I'm about 3 weeks out and feeling relatively normal. Everyone is different of course but you should be able to move around just fine. The only thing you might struggle with is your energy level-- be sure to get enough Protein so you can spend the day sightseeing without needing a nap!

I'm planning a trip to NY for xmas and I'm hoping all that walking around will do me some real good

I would say definatley. I felt back to normal in less than a week and was eating regulary by week 4. I was tired but once I started my vitamins i have been great with lots of energy. YOu should be fine, plus you will probably feel good because by then you will have lost probably a good amount of weight helping you to feel better.

Thanks everyone, it is so nice ot have a forum like this to go to, and everyone is so nice and helpful. thanks again. vicki~

I have been told not to lift over 10 lbs for 6 weeks....watch the suitcases!
