I have a crazy question. My surgery is Friday. Assuming everything goes good, will I be able to go to the State Fair on Oct. 21st? I definitely am not going to ride any of the rides, but should I be ok to walk around the fair by that time?


Thanks!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I wouldnt see why you couldnt if you listen to your body and definately stay off the rides. I am more of the walking around and look type person since I get so sick from the rides. I think that we have the fair about a week after you.

I knew walking was good for you, but I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't too much too soon. Thanks.

You will know if it is too much...your body will tell you. You will understand what we are all talking about once you have the surgery. LOLOL

I would say that if all goes well you should be good for some walking around the fair. Like Kim said, Im not too sure I would do the rides but I think it would be good for you. By then you would be what 2 or 3 weeks out. Good luck on Friday. How exciting.

it will depend on YOU and how you feel. at 3 weeks i was walking regularly. i cannot say i could walk all day because i tired out real quick that early out. but you'll be able to figure out what you can and cant do by that time.

Listen to your body - if you need to sit down and rest for a couple do it - but i bet you will be full of energy and feeling great by then!

hard to say everyones recovery goes different.
I know for me doing that so soon would have
totally wiped me out to exhaustion.
LO energy that soon out.....
i went back to work early but
i was able to take 1 hour power naps.
I think walking around a fair is gonna
totally wipe u out but were all different!
hugs and good luck on ur surgery!

Thanks everyone. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nervous. It's so funny because I'm not nervous about the surgery part at all. I am EXTREMELY nervous about after the surgery. I keep thinking....."how will I know what to do? how will I know what not to eat? how am I going to remember all of this stuff?" Sometimes, it seems so scary.
