I am three days away from surgery and scared spitless. Have been waiting for a long time to do this, but when I started my journey down this path my husband was with me, being extremely supportive, now he is in Iraq and I am alone with our kids. Thank God my best friend is coming in the day prior to surgery to hold my hand! Any suggestions for when I come home and she leaves, and I am by myself with the kids? They are old enough to fend for themselves so no need to pick them up or anything, but they are in school all day and I have no idea how hard it will be post surgery. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Good Luck hun I have not been sleeved but I will going to Mexico alone because hubby have to take and pick my baby boy up from school. He wanted to go but we have no one else to do this for us and I do not want to put a burden on anyone else....Please keep us posted with your surgery...Prayers go out to you. I finally set me date going in the first week of November...

I only had someone with me for the first 2 days. By then I was able to do everything without assistance, although I was still sore and the gas was not completely gone. It was completely do-able. I was alone all day from day three and actually was very happy because I needed the rest and quiet. You should do fine. Each day got better and better. By day 5 I was driving...still a little sore...but really not bad.
