How much walking can you tolerate after sleeve.

I will be in vegas 1 week after sleeve and wonder if I can tolerate walking around. Nothing strenuous, will be there with kids, but just wonder if I will tire easily?

  • I walked 2 miles the day after surgery and was up to 4 miles within a couple weeks. But yes, you will be tired. You will not be able to go all day without a rest/nap. Hell, I get tired walking aro

I think everyone is different, and it probably depends on your general physical condition. I am 5 days post-op and walked 20 minutes this morning. I would have liked to do more but it was all I felt comfortable with at this stage.

Yes it varies person to person. I walked in recovery. A week later I could probably walk 30 - 45 minutes before getting tired.

Hell, I get tired walking around Vegas regardless of surgery! A lot of it depends on how good of shape you are in before surgery. The 4+ miles was normal for me.
