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.

      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!
