WHEN IS IT PLAUSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT RIDING AGAIN? I'M A WEEK OUT, AND I'M BOUT TO GO CRAZY LOOKING AT MY BIKE!

I talked to my surgeon about that yesterday. He told me at least the first week no riding. After that if I am not taking any pain medications and I feel up to it that i can ride. But then he told me no heavy lifting until he sees me after my 1 week follow up. You may want to talk to your surgeon every surgeon has different guidelines.

I TALKED TO MY SURGEON TO, HE PRETTY MUCH SAID WAIT UNTIL YOU FEEL READY, I WAS READY SOON AS I GOT HOME! (LOL) I GUESS I'LL PULL HER OUT TODAY, AND SEE HOW SHE FEELS TO ME.

Remember, you can't lift anything over 10 lbs. So if you have to lift her, then please wait. Hate to see you hurt yourself. ;)

Yeah, what dorrie said. You should be OK UNLESS something goes haywire, get into a tough situation and maybe high side the bike or pull a tank slapper you MIGHT just hurt something. You just had major surgery and had a large portion of an internal organ cut out, so give yourself a few weeks at least. That my $0.02 at least.

I was sleeved on March 7th. I rode my bike from Omaha to KC on the March 22nd for my two week follow up. It wasn't a bad ride, but the last hour or so on the way back was a little uncomfortable. I think the largest incision was getting a little tender.

THANX, GUYS, NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR, BUT GREAT ADVICE. I'LL WAIT A FEW DAYS, JUST FOR GP, AND TO KEEP MY PARENTS & SISTER IN LAW COOL. (LOL) I WILL BE RIDING BY THE 19TH OF THIS MONTH, IF NOT JUST FOR SHORT DISTANCES.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
