Question on coming home from hospital?

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Well, my roller coaster has started to slow down, and I'm re-planning

my upcoming surgery in my mind, I need to visualise to get me through

the big events. Since my Mum will be have major surgery herself, on

24 October 2001, with a hospital stay of 7-10 days, she wont be able

to be my physical support after surgery as planned.

My WLS will be an open surgery - with my papers from the Surgeon

saying that my hospital stay will be 8-10 days, now a good thing as I

won't have Mum at home to rely on and I will need to be more self

sufficient once I get home.

How were you all feeling about 8-10 days after surgery, able to cope

on your own or still heavily reliant on assistance at this point??? I

really want to come home to my own house, but will stay with good

friends if it is necessary.
