Hi! I'm scheduled on March 20. My doctor wants me to start walking right away. One month after surgery I "should" be cleared for all activities. I think you'll have no problem reaching your goal but I'm sure your surgeon will give you more specific instructions. Good luck!

I was "due" 38 years ago with my baby!!! :lol:

all went well :)

oooooops - thats probably not what you meant!!!! :lol:

"almost immediately" after surgery you should be up and around walking slowly in the "halls" of the hospital

many/most people have gas - walking will help that

as soon as you feel up to it, a little more walking is good

i don't know about walking 3 miles right away :unsure:

start off slowly, always listen to your body, how "it" feels

if you are getting tired/weak - don't push it :wacko:

you just had major surgery :huh:

tummy is going to be healing for awhile

so watch it!!! ;)

if you are feeling fine/good/no problem - walking is always a great excercise :)

some people feel well enough to go back to work within a day or two

your doc will tell you when you can do more "official" activity

good luck

speedy recovery :)

      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.
