How long before I can play golf after sleeve gastrectomy?

After sleeve gastrectomy, most people can return to light physical activities like walking within a few days, but golf—while it might seem low-impact—involves twisting, bending, and sometimes lifting, especially if you're carrying your own clubs. These movements can put strain on your core and abdominal muscles, which are still healing after surgery.
Generally, it's safe to start swinging a golf club again around 4 to 6 weeks post-op, assuming your recovery is going well and you’re not experiencing any complications. However, this timeline can vary depending on your overall health, how physically active you were before surgery, and how your surgeon evaluates your healing. It’s important not to rush back too soon, as overexerting yourself could lead to discomfort or even disrupt the healing process.
Before hitting the course again, make sure to check in with your surgical team. They can clear you based on your progress and possibly recommend easing back into it with short sessions, a driving range, or using a cart instead of walking the full 18 holes. Listening to your body and taking it slow will help ensure a smooth return to the game.

Hey!You'll be available to play again after one month if everything its ok with your recovery, anyway always make sure by checking yourself with your Doctor.God bless you
