Golf

Anybody know when we might have clearance to golf again? I'm three weeks post op and couldn't imagine now.

I am 3 months out and planning to play over the summer....I hope there are no restrictions that far out? Would love to hear from some golfers. Three weeks out is way too soon, I can tell you that. I feel like I can play now, but it's the middle of winter and I have not been to the driving range....

I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I could play now I feel so great, but I don't think it would be wise - I was told I wouldn't have any activity limitations after 6 weeks.

I should never try now it seems like the worst motion. But I can't wait to get back out there. I'm hoping maybe by eight weeks. Up until yesterday I had no pain and never would have even realized I had surgery. I really have been blessed with an easy path. Now to break this stall and get this going in the right direction.

I was not cleared to do anything except walk for the first 6 weeks. After that I started riding a bike and working out at the gym. I slowly increased my workouts as I felt comfortable. As for golf, I felt I could play again after about 2 months but I did not, I wanted to make sure I was 100% healed before I started that kind of torque on my body. My first round was about 4 months after surgery and all was fine except my swing. I thought I would really play better since I lost all this weight, wrong. My swing plane changed and I could barely hit a golf ball. I am almost 9 months out from surgery and my golf game is still far from good. So much for picking up where you left off from surgery. I just did not realize just how wide my swing around my body really was and I had adapted to it for all of those years. Now I can actually have a correct swing, I just have to learn to repeat it over and over again. Good luck once you finally get back to it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
