I am scheduled for surgery on 3/25, I have a one year old son who weighs 23lbs and is highly active. How much help should I line up? Will I be able to lift him from the ground, from the crib, etc? How soon will I have enough energy to care for him alone, with no help?

Thank you for your help, in advance.

Your son is adorable. My doctor said No Lifting over 10 lbs. for 4 weeks. I was just sleeved 2/25.

Thank you. I was afraid of that. I don't have the help I was hoping I would. I'll make it work, though.

I had my surgery March 6. My family kept my 4 year old for a couple of days and then he came home. It was a bit hectic a first but I'm managing . You have a one year old so my prayers are with you because he/ she going to want mommy time. Best of luck and utilize friends an family until you feel better
