How long am I going to need help with my baby. He's a 9 month old chunk haha

How was ur pain? And the lifting?

Pain wasn't bad, but everyone has different procedures. I didn't have a drain which I can tell from reading causes pain.

Ok thank you this helps me not to worry so much.

They found a hernia while doing my sleeve. That part if the surgery hurt MUCH worse than my sleeve and I was ok to go after say 4. I went to my 9 year old step daughters last soccer game that day and walked up and down the sidelines. I was up to shopping after that and had a good day.

My husband left for school 2 weeks after my surgery and it was me taking care of 3 kids. My baby girl just turned 1 when I had surgery and I didn't have any problems picking her up when I was 4 days post op. She weighs about 18 lbs and I also continued to breastfeed her after surgery My 2 older kids I didn't pick up until I was about a month post op and that was only for a couple of seconds. I don't think I had any lifting restrictions.

My doctors orders were to not lift anything heavier than 10lbs for two weeks after surgery... I was picking up my 10 month old pretty much my 5th day out without any pain. Just start training the baby now to crawl to you and lift ONLY with your arms and not your core and it shouldn't hurt at all.
