Hey there! What surgery are you having?
I have had the lap band-2006, and I ripped the stiches out of my port like 2 months after surgery.. so.. and I just had the revision to the VSG on 2/23... and that was my first question.. and he said... "whenever you feel like it" lol he should know better with me. He asked for me to atleast wait until I get my stitches out, and then told me the recommendations they have for other things like working out and running. He was comparing barrel racing with those things, so I am going to give it a few more weeks, even though I feel like since he took my staples out today that I could most likely ride comfortable right now. But I wont since that is how I messed my lapband up.

This board used to be easier to find. But OH changed things some years ago and alot of the interest boards got lost so to speak. I bookmarked it, so its easy to get back too. Even though its dead here.
So welcome!

I'm in the process of getting my surgery scheduled for probably late March or early April. And, like anyone who loves riding horses one of the first questions we all want to know is "how long before I can ride again".
I show Arabian horses and when I have time I get in the occasional trail ride. I will go nuts if I have to wait 6 weeks before I can ride again. I have a consult with my surgeon next week and that will be one of my many questions.
Anyone reading this is welcome to emailing me directly at [email protected] too. Just would be nice to connect with other WLS people who also share the love of horses.

Topic: RE: Hello.....anybody home?
The confidence thing is amazing. I used to think that I didn't ride because I was busy, or had a young son, or was even afraid - now I see it was all from being fat and uncomfortable and yes, afraid, because it was so hard to balance all that fat up there. I sure am loving riding now!
