Ok so this is a stupid question and I haven't been able to find anyone with this question

I am a 54 year old female and I am going in for the gastric sleeve at the end of June or early July (haven't gotten the call back from the hospital coordinator yet) and one of my concerns is being able to ride my motorcycle. Yeah I know, stupid but I ride a 750 pound motorcycle and I do have a car for going back and forth to my clients for my business but I also love to ride on the weekends or at nite when I get home from working

Any guys or gals also ride that might be able to tell me their experiences?

Thanks

Holy Crap I am nervous but ready to get this done

I don't see why you would have an issue. I've seen people back to riding horses within a month. I was swimming at two weeks out very hard too. I did wait until six weeks to golf because it wasn't comfortable and I worried about hurting my sleeve. Good luck to you!

I have a friend who had the DS surgery and he rides ALL the time now. Shouldn't be a concern. :)

Thanks - I would think maybe a week or two tops til I heal at least enough to use my stomach muscles for riding

I rode at about 10 days post op. No harmful effects felt or seen. :)

Awesome thanks. By the time my surgery is going to happen it will be 118 here anyway so that's why I am doing it during the summer. If it was in March or April I would say no way since I ride every day other then June - August

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
