What all do I need to know about surgery

I am going to be having the sleeve and I want to know every little detail. I don't want anything to be a surprise. Will you have a catheter during surgery? Do you have to have one of the vacuum pouch thingy that you keep on few days to weeks after? I wish I could remember what the name of it is called LOL. About how many days do you stay after at the hospital? How long did it take you to start feeling back to normal after surgery? My bedroom is located upstairs in my house, will I be able to sleep in my room after surgery or do I have to avoid stairs? What activities will I have to avoid after surgery? And when can I return to those activities? And any other important details that either caught you off-guard or you think is important for me to know. I would greatly appreciate it.
