waterlady 8 Posted August 31, 2013 I love to snow ski and was just wondering when you ladies who have had this combo actually felt like skiing again? The first surgeon I consulted with said that I should be good to go in 4-6 weeks. I do bounce back pretty quickly from things. I was back at work after gastric bypass in 9 days ( I don't have to do any heavy lifting). What do you ladies think? I REALLY want to get this done but I also love to ski... Please give me your opinions. THX! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBD 121 Posted August 31, 2013 I'm 44, pre-op & have been skiing since age 5... Nothing like the freedom & beauty of it. Because my husband and I love it, we tried going skiing last year, (I was @ 275) & that was not a good experience at all for me. This is one of the things I am most looking forward to doing again. Hoping after about 4 months out & (with any luck, 50+ lbs down) it won't be so tough or painful anymore. And with the cost of lift tickets these days, I don't want to go unless I feel good, and conditions are great... THEN it will be so worth the wait. Shooting for Vermont in February. We also have a trip scheduled for Lake Tahoe in early 2015... I imagine that will be a totally different experience for me... Good luck... When is your surgery? I have had 3 abdominal surgeries and 8 weeks out I think I would have been pretty good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted August 31, 2013 I was told to wait 6-8 weeks post plastics before horseback riding. I am thinking skiing is similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
