Golf.... How Long Did You Wait To Start Playing.



Recommended Posts

How long did anyone wait after surgery to start playing. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and have the itch to play. But i'm afraid the twisting motion of the mid section will aggrevate the incisions. Especially the one on the left side.

Have you asked your doctor or someone in his/her office? It seems that different doctors have different programs for what you can do when.

Doc tld me at least three months than we would talk just for the reasons you mentioned. Your body is trying to grow a protective shell over those staples and if you tear it constantly ou will hurt yourself.

This probably explains why John daily is not sleeved :P

I've been going to the driving range 2-3 times a week since about six weeks.

Thanks. I just had my 6 week follow up with doc. on friday. He said it should be fine to play, but if there is any discomfort to stop. I think i'll be fine.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
