How long out of surgery could you...

Vacuum? My dr said to wait a month

Drive? I was told 10 days

Garden? As soon as I am up to it,just no lifting of over 10 pounds

Bath/swim?

Drink coffee?

Exercise?

I'm a week out, and have virtually no pain, and am antsy and curious how long other sleevers had physical restrictions. I know I have internal stitches and such, so I'm forcing myself to sit.

Thanks.

    I could shower the next day but I was told to wait at least 10 days before I took a tub bath or went swimming. I could drive as soon as I was off the nausea and pain meds. They told me that I could walk but not to do any major exercising for 4-6 weeks.
