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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
