Do you think I will be okay to go to Disney 3 months after RNY ?

I'm having surgery on 5/5 and planning a Disney vacation for the end of July beginning of August. I'm a little worried that I will not be able to handle it so soon after surgery? But my family really wants to go and honestly so do I, I'm just worried about the 17 hour car ride and all that Disney walking. Has anyone gone on vacation soon after surgery? Thanks in advance for any tips or opinions
i went to Animal Kingdom and Epcot 3 months after surgery.I live in St.Louis and the car ride wasn't bad for me.We stopped often to ge****er to drink,bathroom and walk a little.
At the parks just make sure you stay hydrated.Drink,drink and drink some more.Especially in summer.Take a rest at park if needed.We only rode a few mild rides.
You should be fine. Planning will be important -- drinking enough, and meals. You may still get tired more easily, especially with that much activity. It wouldn't hurt to schedule a daily nap.

We are actually tentatively planning a trip for October...originally I'd be 7mos out but with having to split my surgery into two parts (with the second part in June) I may only be about 4mos out but I think it should be a great time as long as I plan accordingly

Are you staying at a Disney Resort? If so, it is easy to take the bus back to the hotel to rest in the middle of the day, if you need to. I went last year in August and the heat alone exhausted me (and I am 8 years out). Just make sure to drink lots of water.
