Golf - How Long After Gastric Sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm not scheduled yet, but I am approved for the surgery. Expecting a date around March 1st. Any chance I will be cleared to play by May 1st, and even if I am cleared, is it a reasonable expectation that I will be able to do it? Thanks.

I was approved after 6 weeks...first couple of holes I was a little rusty, but I killed it on the back nine...

I'm 10 weeks out and down about 60 lbs. I definitely noticed a difference in my swing... seemed much more controlled.

I was still pretty fresh the last few holes... before the procedure I was getting worn out towards the end of the round...

I will say that I was sore as hell the next day!

I played two weeks post op. I could only finish 11 holes, but went back the next week and played twice and finished both rounds. Probably not recommended that soon, but certainly shouldn't be a problem 8 weeks out!!
