When can you do things like jump and run after the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I know they want you walking after surgery, but what about things like running or jumping? Like jumping jacks for instance, i feel like i would be too scared to do that stuff and jostle my pouch too much or something. When after surgery would it be fine to do these things?

You can't hurt your stomach by jostling it. You can, however, hurt your incisions by putting too much stress on them. You want to ask your surgeon for specific guidance on exercise.

Honestly, I can't remember how long it was before I was back to all activities but you'll definitely know when it's time. I remember one day just all Of a sudden feeling much more like myself. Just listen to your body! Prob somewhere around 4-6 weeks

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
