Sleeved 5/28, and I have been just walking, using stairs parking at back of parking lot so I walk further. What im wondering is when we can start exercising and how much, should I be doing more now? I see my dr on Monday but just wanted to ask.

There's not really a set timetable for activity. Everyone is so different. I was sleeved on a Tuesday and was back in the gym and the job the following Monday. I only had a lifting restriction of no more than 10lbs, but other than that I could pretty much do what I wanted to do. I would say do what you feel like doing and do a little more each day.

I would wait and ask the doc first.. my doc wouldnt let me have any gym until I was almost 3mo out.. and then ive only done cardio... and I was out of work for 17 days.. per my doctor..and when I went back I was on a lift restriction also.. so every one and every doc is different.. Im glad my doc plays it safe in making sure that stomach does not get damaged at all.. all is good now.. ive been to the gym now and my cardio workout is complete and Im getting ready to start weight training.. but as for now.. your best exercise is walk walk walk... best of luck to you on your new journey. :)

My dr gave me no restriction just said whenever I felt comfortable so I have been exercising since a week out.

I just had my follow up yesterday with my Dr and he said I have no restrictions anymore and can work out and even swim. I was surprised and also sleeved on 5/28. Hopefully your Dr says something similar to you on Monday!

      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!
