It's 2 weeks since I had the vertical sleeve. How long till I can hit the gym. Dr said to relax for close to a month but didn't really say much after that. Ideas????

We did a lot of walking yes it's safe. About 7min walk behind the hotel is a strip mall with Walmart Starbucks and great little shops. We took in a soccer match which is next to Walmart to watch the premiere team in Tijuana play. We also walked down the street to see the small shops the other direction. Such great history and powerful paintings on the street. OXXO is exactly like 7-11 store. That where my mum went to get sandwiches which were great and cheap. They are all over the place. Sandwich costs about 1.75 U.S. There is an oxxo right beside the clinic as well. For ur mum. The ppl are so nice. Drivers are crazy. Just watch when crossing street. There are not that many walking signals. After the surgery when u r at the hotel on the 2nd day take a cab to the revolution. Cab is 100 pesos. Or 7-8$ U.S. It's where Tijuana started. Shops food for ur mum tequila shots for ur mum at all the shops it's great atmosphere. Have at least 20$ in pesos as u will tip the ppl who bring room service and stuff. It was the best hotel. Friendly efficient just a blast. Pool hottub.

It's been 2 weeks and have dropped 38lbs. I feel great and ready to do sit-ups and and run, but not sure how long I should wait since it's only been 2weeks since the vertical sleeve surgery??

Lots of walking casey239. Every hour walk 15 mins. The more u sit and lie down it will be painful

I am new here. Just had my vertical sleeve done on April 1st 2015 by Dr Garcia and the "Ready 4A Change group. I live out in the valley

I was never told which way to sleep. I found being on my back was the best and on my right side pretty good . As for my left side that's where the drain was inserted so not the most comfortable. It's been 2 weeks and I can sleep on any side now without any major discomfort

I has the vertical sleeve on April 1st. It's been 2weeks and no pain at all. I had mild discomfort after the surgery for about 12 hrs but it was just the gas build up. Lots of walking around is what I suggest while in hosp. After 2days of hosp I was walking all over Tijuana for the next 2 days
