How much help will I need?

Hello all... My sugery is next Wednesday on the 27th. I go in for pre-op in the morning. Getting so close and I am trying to tie up loose ends for my husband. So I have an 18 month old and I know I can't pick him up for a while, but How much help will I need with him. My mother-in-law said she would come over to help if I need her too. I appreciate the offer and probably will have her over, just curious how long I may need her help. I am having this done lap. Hard to believe that my whole world is about to change in a wee****ep trying to cram all this protein down and think how will I ever get it in after sugery. I am so looking forward to more energy and clothes shoppiing!!!! Well I hope everyone has a great day Sarah

Hi Sarah, My kids are 2 and 4. I came home on a Friday and my hubby helped that day. He had to work on Saturday, so my mom came over. I slept most of Saturday. And then my hubby helped on Sunday. I needed three additional days of round the clock help. Now, my surgery was done lap, so that makes a big difference. By that next Monday, I was able to do minimal things around the house. Just take it easy. I would get as much help as you can. It will just make everything that much easier.

I had someone with me for the first week. I had open and I also had a 1 and a 2 year old. That was the hardest. Take all the help you can get. Please feel free to contact me. I have created a weight loss message board on yahoo. [email protected] We will be starting support meetings in January. If you have any further questions i'd be happy to help. Congratulations on your surgery date. Dianna
