Post op BENDING restriction



Recommended Posts

I know there is a post op lifting restriction but has anyone has a BENDING restriction? This could be interesting going back to work. I may have to tell the boss after all. I suppose I will just do my best at avoiding. Thankfully I have an admin job and don't have to too often like some others here in their jobs. Has anyone had problems with this? What will bending do?

I went back to work 7 days after surgery and had no problem bending. Two weeks post-op and I was out planting flowers for over 3 hours. The next day, my thighs hurt but my stomach/abdominal areas were just fine. LOL.

Nope, not that I am aware of.

Now that I think about it more, bending would actually assist in getting rid of the CO2 gas post-op.

Ya that makes sense to me too. I will put it on my question list for the doc.;)

      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.
