Will it be hard to get out of bed or chairs the first few weeks of surgery?

I will be having the DS proceedure soon and am trying to prepare for my time at home right after surgery. I am currently 438 lbs with a BMI of 67. My mobility is quite good now, but I am concerned that I will not be able to get out of bed or out of a chair on my own for a while after surgery. I'm wondering if any of you can give me an idea of how long it would be before I will be up and about with no assistance. (I do realize each person is different - Im just trying to get a general idea)
