I would say at least 4 to 6 weeks

Thanks. I just had my 6 week follow up with doc. on friday. He said it should be fine to play, but if there is any discomfort to stop. I think i'll be fine.

How long did anyone wait after surgery to start playing. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and have the itch to play. But i'm afraid the twisting motion of the mid section will aggrevate the incisions. Especially the one on the left side.

They wont work on mine either...

Thanks everyone. I have my opp. tommorrow with Doc. that will be one of my first questions....

I'm from Royse city.... Had WLS on 7/30 and am doing great. down 40lb so far... But it is coming off slower now. DANG IT...LOL

I've been able to walk. I can't Lift anything over 20lb yet... DR's Order. As far as keeping food done. NO Problemes at all...The pre op diet was a little tuff for the first couple days. But as each day passed it got better. although i'm getting a little tired of all them protien shakes we have to drink each day. LOL...

I'm doing great. I've already lost 40 lb. But i hit that 3 week stall that everybody talks about. Please keep in touch and let us no how your doing.

I had my surgery 7/30/2012 with DR. Nick. He is an awsome DR. i had very little pain and was not nausea at all. Your in very good hands and will do GREAT....

Hi all ... I'm from Royse city and was sleeved July 30 By DR. Nick nicholson.

Hi ALL.... I'm from royse city and was sleeved jun30.

Just got the call from doctor Nick's office. I have to be at Presbetaryn Dallas at 6:00 am. on monday. Can't wait to see the new transformation over the next year or so that it will take too lose all this weight..... YEEEEEEAAAAA!!!!!

Hi everybody. Well made it through surgery with no problems. Dr.Nick was great along with all his staff.. Went in to presby of dallas at 6:00 am mon. and was able to come home yesterday at 1 pm. other than my stomach being very sore and a little gas everything else is good. thanks for all the prayers. how did everybody else do that was schedule on July 30th.

I sure will.... Good luck to you.. We will be in good hands.....

Dr Nick Nicholson....Great DR. Highly Recommend him and his staff......

Thanks And good luck to everybody.

Dr Nick put me on 5 protein shakes a day and 5oz of meat and two cups of vegtibles at dinner time. or 1200 calories total. You have to watch the calories in the protein drinks. make sure they are low in sugar and carbs. I have to do this for 2 weeks pre op. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

i'm having my VSG July 30th with DR Nick. Starting to get nervous. But exited at the same time.

I'm July 30th also. I'm doing the two week pre op liquid. I'm on day three and so far not to bad. Best of luck to everyone......

Congrats To you. My sugery date is july 30th. Let us no how it went.

Hello Everybody, I want to introduce my self. I live near Dallas and started the journey to become thinner back in may. I originally persued the lap band procedure with DR. Marsden(All he does is Lap Band) and actually had a surgery date set for july 25th...... BUT i went last FRi to see Dr Nicholson and he talked to me about the sleeve. I decided that would be the best choice for me. I have friends that have had both surgery's done and everybody that has had the lab band that i know wished they would have done the sleeve. DID I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ???? So now I'm waiting on my records to be transfered to Dr. Nicholson which will be monday. Then I'll have new date set..... Cany wait but nervous......

yea i no what you mean. A good friend of mine has the band and is not doing his part in going back to the doc. to have it filled. his weight is coming off so slow. It's like REALLY. He's the one that talked me in to the sleeve.

I no it's the right decision.... i'm just glad i'm doing the sleeve. I think it's a better choice over lap band.

Thanks Kim,
