most people here will say "as soon as you're up for it."

just keep in mind that you should keep it simple and stay away from the rough stuff ;)

Of course you can ask and it often comes up here. It's a factor that has to be considered as well. :) My Dr told me when I felt up to it, to go for it.............I'm still waiting. :P Just kidding on the still waiting part. He did say to start out reasonably and not doing anything too crazy or strenuous. I've heard other sleevers saying that their Dr told them to wait a few weeks.

Do what your doctor says ... mine didn't say anything so day two in the hospital seemed like the perfect chance to make sure everything was still working correctly :-)

Most hospital based nurses agree that you should wait until you are out of the hospital. Beyond that, it's up to individual doctors' opinions which vary from "when you feel like it" to some weeks. Basically, it's down to being able to do things without distress - you probably don't want to be swinging from the rafters, but any positioning that accomplishes things in comfort is fine.

LOL, I would hope that people would wait until they're out of the hospital!!!

My NP was suprised at my two weeks when I asked that same question. Her response was "you mean you're not already?!?!"

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
