Just wondering how long after surgery (I am just waiting for my vsg) can you start having some "activity" in my life again? When is too soon?

I was released from the hospital with no limitations except no heavy lifting.

Thank you. This topic came up in a very recent discussion and figured you all may have an idea what the answer would be. Thanks!

And that cracks me up about "not doing it in the hospital"!!!! Hahahaha

Ask your surgeon. It will likely depend on your surgery and your condition. If you are not comfortable enough to ask your surgeon - ask anyway. You will be discussing your peeing and pooping with the surgeon, so you might as well as about this.

DS on 03/15/06

I had an open DS and it was 4 days after surgery .

SW / GW / CW 5'10"
306 / 165 / 140
With the DS: there is no stoma, so no stoma strictures; there are no limitations (other than volume) against drinking before, during or after meals; 80% of ingested fat is malabsorbed; 98.9% of type II diabetics are CURED of this devastating disease, with data showing stable cure over 10 years out; there is the best average weight loss and most durable (average 76% excess weight loss going out 10 years) of all of the bariatric surgeries. That's why I had a DS!

I was allowed upon release but didn't feel like it for at least 2 weeks.

If you do ask you surgeon, might I suggest you call it sex - "activity" means so many things to so many people!!! (as does sex, I suppose ) Medical staff really appreciate us using grown up terms so there is no confusion!
