My doctor says you don't have to wait at all after surgery, as long as you feel up to it you can do it. I am pre-surgery so I don't know how I will feel after surgery but I can tell you we won't wait long. There are different ways to do things that require less effort in the beginning (I have had 4 huge babies, I understand starting back slow) :)


20years the first time. You?

Fooling around 2 days post op. Slow and steady 5 days. Like a teenager with raging hormones... 9 days.

post op day 4-- from the back-- on my side... hope that makes sense. Think of spooning. It was more for him than for me but at least that set him straight for awhile.

I say two weeks because we usually don't see each other during the week. He works afternoons and I work days. I'm off work due to a knee surgery and going on the 20th for my sleeve surgery and he has already surprised me before going to work.

No restriction on when from my doc, just whenever I felt up to it. So, 3 or 4 days post-op.

Got an awkward boner as I was waking up in my room.

Could't help it.....my surgeon had three female med students with him that had been there during my final pre-op appointments......all were attractive....one of them, though......whew......stronger than new rope.

Anyway....I knew as I was waking up....all was well with the landing gear as it was deploying.....this knowledge came before I'd even been told the surgery was a success by surgeon or other staff.

I waited until being discharged from hospital to give it a test run......the IV lines would have been cumbersome.........

@@Candygyrl YES, that is exactly what I was going to say, spooning. Works great and doesn't require much effort.

      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.

      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.
