How long before you felt up to it?

The surgery is not that bad. It just feels like you were punched or kicked in the stomach. Theoretically you could begin whenever you wanted or feel comfortable to. Ask your doctor.

This depends on how you are feeling. As long as your partner is aware of the surgery and plans to be careful, I don't see an issue. For me it was around day 10 only because my hubby was not in town, I am sure it would have been a few days sooner had he been here. Take that back he probably would have made me wait anyway. He is an overprotective one. I really did not have pain etc. from surgery.

Five days after VSG...no issues whatsoever????

It took me 4 weeks. I got my period twice after surgery and was not in the mood what so ever, lol. Since then he can't get me to stop, lmao! ????

Like someone else said here about 10 days after being released from the hospital and back home.

Two weeks, but I am old. If I were even a decade younger, I probably could have indulged at one week, but not with any energy on my part - just pleasant availability.

A week lol. Just take it easy

I tried after a week. Hubby was careful and all was well. As the pounds come off... Well...It's fugmageddon around here.

A few minutes after becoming coherent in my hospital room.

Sprung and ready.

Couldn't be helped. My surgeon had 4 smoking hot med students with him during my pre-op appointments and throughout my surgery and first post op visit. They were all leaning in....hair down...surgical gear off....leaning in and speaking soothing voices as I woke up. I thought I'd died and was in greener pastures for a second.

Hahahaha!!!@@Dub

@@Dub .... Go towards the light...

I don't recall how long it was before I felt up to it, but it was a few years before I experienced it (i assure you, I felt up to it well before 2 years!)

I was single. (((((((((

But around six months out, oh momma!!!!!!

Saw this topic and got some laughs from it.

I hope all the vets from this time frame are doing well. Y’all kept me laughing all the way through those days.
