Golf- When did you start back post op?



Recommended Posts

I’m about 4 weeks post op from my bypass surgery. Down a total of 47lbs since pre-op diet and feeling great. My doc said I could start swinging a club at 4-6 weeks so I’m itching to start.

Did anyone have any challenges to be aware of? I’m healing and feeling well but cautiously optimistic on adding golf. Love to hear any feedback. Thanks!

I think I golfed for the first time 5-6 weeks post? Nothing too surprising, I was quite exhausted, and didn't play the whole 18. Pretty much what you'd expect having had recent surgery and while consuming very few calories.

Thanks. I figured fatigue would play in to it. I’ve been walking 4-5 miles daily to build stamina so hopefully that helps.

Did you have any incision or abdominal pain? I think that’s my biggest concern. I’m healing good and don’t want to mess myself up.

I didn't. But I had almost no abdominal pain from the surgery whatsoever.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
