How long after surgery before you feel "yourself "

Hey all~ my surgery is scheduled for October 10. Is it realistic that I will feel well enough for a little weekend getaway by October 21??

Thanks in advance!

    Make sure you bring along stuff you can eat. That's difficult.

    I had surgery on 8/8 and I already feel like I could do a weekend getaway except for the low energy. If it's relaxing, low key stuff, I'd be fine now (6 days post op).

    I was walking the mall four days after the sleeve. I was 68 then and needed no pain pills. Plan your meals carefully and relax. Have a good time.
