I haven't told anyone other than my boyfriend and kids. He just got a new job and doesn't have time off from work, my oldest is 20 I could have him go with me but I feel like meh... I'd really rather my Bf go and he can't so alone it is. I really think I will be fine alone but I'm looking for advice from anyone who has went alone.

I was sleeved on 12/08/15. I live roughly an hour from the hospital so I had my parents drop me at the hospital(kind of weird, being that I'm 33). They only stayed until the surgeon told them I made it through okay. My boyfriend had work and school and I didn't want him to have to take off "just for me". I have to say that I was happy no one was there. I had a two night stay and wanted to rest as much as possible(easier said than done with nurses doing rounds checking vitals and whatnot). I was just trying to recover, which seemed to be easier when I could just focus on sipping and walking. I love my family, but I knew I would see them soon and the better I did before I left the hospital, the better I'd do at home. I had my dad pick me up and everything worked out well. It absolutely your decision, I personally found it "easier" with no one there.

I flew to Mexico by myself and had it done. I was in good hands. I flew in Tuesday, surgery on Wednesday, flew back home on Friday then back to work on Monday. I was alone the entire time but I had my laptop and cell phone, decent drugs and I was good.

cookies_queen, when you are back to work on Monday, can you update how you are doing, please? I'm planning to do exactly what you did for the same reasons, basically (hubby can drop me off, has no real days off unless an emergency,) and I figure I'll be out of it/tired and might (hopefully) enjoy some rest without my little ones needing my attention.

I have a sedentary job from home and am hoping/praying I can go back to work the next week like you are. Please let me know how it goes!

I'm sorry you were throwing up. That has to be very painful. Eek!

i was tired and sore of course but I made it thru the work week fine. I had to get my kids and sit at soccer practice each night so when I got home I went straight to bed every night. You can do it. It's Saturday and I could have slept late but in wide awake at 6 am!
