Has anyone gong skiing soon after surgery? I had surgery on 3/1/17 and was back to work on 3/6. I have been on 6 plane rides sjnce and I'm feeling fine. So I figured why not go skiing. I took it easy, tried not to go too fast. But after 2 hours of skiing I started feeling a pulling sensation on my lower left abdomen. Do I need to be concerned I may have pulled on the stapled seam?

Contact your surgeon, no one here can guess that.

This has to be a spam account or troll post. skierChic joined the site 4 hours ago, posts in the Guys Room about skiing 2 weeks post op. Skiing. Who in the hell has energy, much less the range of movement, necessary for skiing two weeks post op?! And if that isn't strange enough, instead of going to an emergency room she joins a web forum to ask a bunch of strangers what to do? I just don't buy it.

On the off chance that this is real, jesus... go to a hospital.

Not judging. But I'm surprised you qualified for surgery at your weight and height.

Sounds like you're well on the road to recovery!

Could be doable..not advisable, but Doable. I went apple picking 5 days post op and then cooked thanksgiving dinner. Was fine to do both, able to take rests, breaks. And mad my hubby carry the heavy bags. No I'll effects. Would I have gone skiing? Nope, probably not

What? I'm getting surgery today, and you guys think I have to cancel my white-water rafting trip next week? Y'all nuts!

(Just kidding!... today IS the day though!)

Eh, I felt good enough to ski 2 1/2 weeks post op. I didn't, but I did fly to another country and walk nearly 15 miles a day at a high altitude. Some of us recover quickly. I don't think it's a troll. But, concur on the other point- only your doctor can help with this query.

I can understand feeling good after surgery because I felt really great!!!
BUT there are some limitations to what you can do do you can heal on the inside. You should have consulted with your DR. Before going skiing.
I would have been afraid of falling and shaking my body up which could cause harm. Maybe you should have scheduled your surgery after skiing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
