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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
