How much walking did everyone do after suegery?



Recommended Posts

I've been walking but I get tired quick and it is so hot I don't want to dehydrate. How much is enough? Im,also having pain in my left side of breast. I don't know if it is gas or just pain.

I remember having a sharp pain on the left side of my left breast. The PA at my surgeon's office wasn't sure what would cause that. It went away after a few days, though. Weird.

Hey I had my surgery on Thursday as well. My surgeon told me I should be up moving around every half an hour for 10-15min at a time. I had a little shoulder pain turned out to be just had. Walking around made it ease up quickly.

For the first year after surgery, I walked 30 minutes per day, every day.

I had surgery Tuesday and got home Thursday. I did a lot of walking in the hospital but it's been over 90 degrees outside at home. So I've just been getting up and walking around my house. I'm afraid I'd become easily dehydrated in the hot weather.

I do quick walks around the house all day and a long walk outside with my partner when they get home from work.

I walked around the hospital several times a day after surgery. I'm one week post op today, and I've been walking 45 minutes a day on my treadmill, split into two sessions.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
