    Default Post-Op mounting..

    Any of y'all know how long I will have to wait before I can start mounting my horses again? I am to start barrel training as soon as I can... Surgery is May 30 in Mx, so I can't exactly call him up and ask...

    Thnx in advance.

    Riding is jolting to the stomach so I wouldn't do it until at least 30 days after your surgery (per my surgeon). If you so, you can break a stitch inside and cause a leak. These are sacrifices we have to make in order to have the surgery.

    My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks post op before doing equestrian related activities. This was to be conservative - wanting to be sure everything is fully healed before heaving lifting (saddle), risk of fall (riding), or risk of getting yanked, bumped, pulled or pushed (risk any time you do horse stuff even though my boy is a very gentle soul). I was cleared to do less risky activities after 4 weeks. I was a band to sleeve revision so I had more healing to do then a "virgin sleever" - but I think this 4-6 week range is where most surgeons will tell people they can do more vigorous activity/riskier sports.

    On a personal note, I was so weak and tired the first 4-6 weeks, I wouldn't have had the strength to do much anyway until after 6 weeks. My first ride after being off so long wore me out. Everybody is different though.
    308# 12/1/2011 Start of Preop Diet
    300# 12/12/11 Lapband to Sleeve revision
    158# Feb 2013 - GOAL lost 150# 14 months post op
    150# 10/14/2013 - Plastics Dr Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico; removed 5.5# of skin
    140# Apr 2014 - maintaining 168# weight loss currently. Very happy with my sleeve and plastics results!
