I was riding as a passenger within 10 days----but not alone. If my recovery was anything like yours will be, it shouldn't be a problem. Within a month I felt 100% normal---and several pounds lighter!

That is one of the first ways my DH said the weight loss really made itself evident, was we had space between us when we went for a ride!!!

Good luck!!

Shouldn't be a problem! You aren't picking it up and carrying it...... your RIDING! LOL

Seriously though, I had friend who had a lap RNY (gastric bypass and she was riding her 82 softail within a month.) actually I think she rode to sturgis from KS ...

I was on mine within a month and had no problems. In fact I noticed that it was easier too minus the weight. Looking forward to that feeling as the pounds go down even more! We also have a posting for Banded Bikers II in the support section. Stop by and say 'Hi'. :peace:

I did within a month and went 4 wheeler riding for 5 hours on day 10. Just take it easy and enjoy yourself. Have fun, there's nothing anymore fun than fiding a harley, you go!!

I had surgery on Friday and went riding my 1300 on Sunday. It really all depends on you and how well you feel.

Rubber Side down and blue skies to all.

      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!
