Was wondering that if after surgery anyone had troubles with stairs? The reason i ask is cause after surgery  i will be sleeping in the lazy boy which is on the main floor and our bathroom is on the second? I wont have anyone to look after me after surgery cause i live at home with the parents. Mom has back problems and my dads job takes him away a month at a time. Also my boyfriend lives 2hrs away and doesnt drive. So was wondering how much stairs are gonna be a problem to me?

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.

I don't think stairs are going to be a problem.  They weren't for me.
I slept in my bed just fine too.
I didnt' need much help at my place, just getting the dog food bag in the house and my jug for the water cooler. 
The one thing I needed help with the most was my dog.  She can be pretty hard to handle so she stayed with my parents for a week.  I stayed with them for a few nights then I started going home at night. Then only a few nights later I took her back home with me.  Her face was so sad when I would go home and leave her there.  She didn't know why.

Hi - stairs shouldn't be a problem - I have lots in my place. Even after my open emergency hernia surgery last summer - I had no trouble with stairs. Just take your time. I also slept in my own bed - lots of pillows to rest an arm or leg on etc. Getting in and out of bed is a challenge at first - but you WILL have to move around and get your body used to it's new condition - as an RN -I have seen people tend to really minimize moving about because of pain/discomfort. But - getting up and moving around - within reason of course - is benificial in so many ways. Good luck!
