I wanted to know how long you can't lift when you get a scope RNY. I get mine done 5-7 and I have to watch my Grandson this summer while they work. His  wt is 25lbs and should be walking by than. But I'll have to lift him anyways. Time fame anyone Please
Thank-you Juli

Hi Juli-
Officially, my surgeon's office said a 5 lb. restriction for 4 weeks.
I have a special-needs son that weighs 137 lbs. and there was no one to care for him but me, so I did more then I was supposed to, but tried to be smart about it.

I think by June you should be feeling fine and strong enough to keep up with the little guy.
Of course, you'll have to ask your doc and see what they say, and go by how you are feeling.
Remember to walk a little bit each day after surgery, no matter how much you don't want to.  It's very easy to rest on the couch for 2 weeks after and your body gets used to that.  If you build your stamina a little each day, you'll be in much better shape come summer.  Don't go crazy, but just short walks to get everything moving.
Good Luck to you!

My surgeon's weight lifting/pushing/pulling restriction was for six weeks, nothing over ten pounds.
