Is it feasible to continue law school post op?

I have my surgery consult tomorrow, and if all goes well, which it should, I can expect my RNY in about 12 weeks. That would put me in the beginning of my 6th semester of law school (I go part time). I plan to take an easy load, 2 classes plus Law Review. I also work 20 hours a week, but am hoping to take at least 1 month off of work. I can miss 2 weeks of classes, but not more than that. I'm also a single mom of a 2 year old, but have very helpful parents who are supportive in every way. Oh, I should mention that the surgery will most likely be done open, because the surgeon is just starting out (he has years of trauma gut surgery behind him and great training), and won't consider lap until he's done 50 successful open surgeries. I'd like to continue with classes next semester because if I don't that means no student loans, which pay my rent, car payment, etc. Please tell me this can be done!
