Surgery went better than I ever expected. No issues Post Surgery, from recovery room on. Next day had some pain from the CO2 gas, but after that night, No pain medicine. 2 weeks later I was able to hit golf balls and play! The liquid diet has been relatively easy to follow and no hunger at all. Weight is coming off quick so far.
As I get ready to go to soft foods, it will be interesting to see if anything changes.
Wish I had done this earlier, but once I decided, I was decision to surgery in 3 weeks.(had been talking to my surgeon for 4 years, on and off).

I don't golf, but I was back in the gym doing cardio on Saturday after a Tuesday surgery. (Slowly, on a recumbent bike, but doing cardio). I was back working with my personal trainer after 3 weeks (cleared by my surgeon to do so.) I work at a desk, so I was back in the office 6 days after surgery, but did work from home a couple of times a week for that first week or two after surgery.
The biggest hit was the energy department for me - it took me a good 2 months to feel like I had most of my energy back, but anesthesia usually knocks me on my butt for a good 5 weeks after a surgery - just the way my body deals with it. Six weeks after surgery I was out of town for a week to handle my mother's funeral - no real problems related to the sleeve there.
Best of luck.

I am not a medical doc - but I can share my experience of 2 surgeries - lapband implant, removal 10 years later, revision to sleeve. They were all laproscopic surgeries.
Incisions are not the big issue - they healed quite readily. Being able to get enough liquids in is much more of an issue. Having enough energy, getting used to all the crazy food phases, mood swings due to hormone changes due to rapid weight loss etc was much bigger deal. I was also warned to be careful for 6 weeks - no heavy lifting (like 5 pound limit!) to avoid creating adhesions.
So, deskjobs people often go back to work in 2-3 weeks. I personally felt like HELL for closer to 6 weeks - I would have NOT been up to do business travel within 2 weeks of surgery - it was a big adjustment for me. It was even longer before I felt fully human to be honest, but I was doing normal stuff around 6 weeks or so.
I was riding horses about 6-7 weeks post op, for example.
