My surgery date is 10-15-07.

My DH and I have had a reunion we have planned to attend on the 19th out of town.

He wanted to bring the Harley along and wondered if I could ride while we were down in San Diego. Thats 4/5 days after surgery. It would be just around town but what do you all think. What are you feeling like 5 days out of surgery? Still really tender?

I appreciate your feedback.

From my own experience, I would not have been up for a motorcycle ride that soon after surgery, but everyone is different. I hope you're able to - it sounds like fun!

I did a short ride 3 weeks after surgery, but it was on a sport bike. Then I parked it and am waiting for a while. Not real comfortable for me. Maybe on a cruiser though

I don't think I would be ready to ride the bike that soon at all! I think it would hurt over the bumps and would not help if you were nausiated at all...I would say no for me, but I am a BIG baby! lol...

I wasn't up for much of anything 4/5 days after my surgery. I was still getting nauseated at that point and a little sore. Everyone is different so i hope you are able to.

The port is achored in place and needs time to heal. I would be really careful. My former wife's port slipped out of place and i think is was because of riding with me on my harley shortly after her procedure. I cannot pin point that is the reason for the port slipage. I just know that she was very active and did not leave time for the port stiches to heal and scar tissue to form to hold it into place. We wound up replacing the port 2 months after frustration on not being able to get fills.

Not trying to stop you but just cautioning :)

Thanks everyone! I'm not riding on the motorcycle. It seems dumb considering the money we've put out for this. DH wanted to show off his bike to his navy buddies (this is a reunion for their ship) but he would never do anything to cause me harm. It was his suggestion that I post this issue and you have all confirmed what I knew in my heart. He can't find a place to park the bike anyway. The hotel does not offer secured parking. Thanks again!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
