My surgery is scheduled for this Tuesday--laparoscopic gastric bypass. My surgeons office told me that, if all things go well, they generally release from hospital on Friday. My son has a soccer tournament on Saturday. It is about an hour away and will last for 6-7 hours. There is some walking from field to field, but it is mostly just sitting. I've told my son and husband that I don't plan on going...but I'm wondering if it might be possible. Opinions?

It's not a huge deal if I miss it, but if I can go, of course I would like to.

Thanks for the input!

I work in the medical field and also had WLS 5 days ago. Although, rest is detrimental, so is walking, sipping your Water, and getting back to normal. My second day was my hardest. The gas pains were horrible but thanks to walking and gas x strips it was short lived. I say go but have a comfortable chair and getting up and walk around every hour or so. I think you'll be amazed how much better you'll feel.
