I have surgery in two days and it never occurred to me to ask my surgeon when I could go back to full activities until my husband asked me tonight. I'm guessing 8 weeks like exercising??

8 weeks?!?! :o:wacko: :blink:

No (thank God!), my wife was sleeved exactly two months after me and we waited about 2 weeks...no trapeze or swings,we just took it easy and all was fine.

Now, 13 months out for me and 11 months out for my beautiful bride....well, let's just say we're like newlyweds! :D

Good luck and Godspeed for a quick recovery...you're in for one heck of a journey! :)

I was sleeved on the 5th and my Dr said 1-2 weeks depending on how I feel. It was the highlight of my discharge meeting!

Wow I like your doctors! Lol mine told us to wait 5-6 weeks. I think he's nuts.. but 1-2 weeks sounds a lot more reasonable!

My dr said two weeks, and I could have sex as tolerated.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
