I was sleeved on Wednesday august 27....three days ago.... My question is when did people go out? I mean just leave their house. I don't mean back to work... Like a ride in the car.... Haircut... Grocery store.... Just curious ... I have a haircut appointment and wondering I should cancel it for today. Thank you

Depends how u feel as soon as I left the hospital I just did whatever I wanted

At three days out I was still really, really tired. I didn't start leaving the house for more than a walk to get the mail until about two weeks out. But that's just me. Some people's early healing phase goes much more quickly.

There's no rule ... just go out when you feel OK to do so.

After three days, you might not want to be driving ... surgical anesthetics are still rattling around in our systems. I was lightheaded for more than a week post-op.

I'm 12 days out now, and drove yesterday for the first time.

when did people go out

@@alyce

day after surgery i went roller blading around the block

since you didn't mention any problems like gas, being extra tired..........

sounds like you are moving, recuperating well

do whatever you think feels right for you in your daily routine

would you be driving the car?

or be a passenger?

hair cut - go for it!!

I see you definitely need a trim

walking around the block etc is also fine (good exercise too)

grocery store, mall - for me i would wait only cuz i was more tired than my "norm"

if it feels right - and doc says ok - great

if you doubt anything about anything - always talk to your doc

you and your tummy just had majory surgery

you and it both need to take it easy

that being said - whatever movement you are comfortable with, it should be ok

its whatever works for you - just take baby steps at first (no roller blading yet!!)

ALWAYS listen to your body

again check wiwth the doc if you have any questions

he is the smartest person (except me of course)

good luck

take care

continued speedy recovery
