I was wondering if anyone of my fellow July Bandsters are planning to exercise as they lose weight? and when are you going to start? I just got banded 8 days ago. And i really want to start being active. I should probably start light, like walking. I want to join a gym too. i'm not sure if it's okay with having just had surgery. anyone have any ideas?

Hey! Congrats! and good luck with the recovery and the journey! :whoo:

I was wondering when's a good time to start exercising after getting banded? I just got banded 8 days ago. And i want to exercise soon while i'm on summer break, before school starts and i'm all busy. I'd like to join a gym maybe. Or start walking very soon. My port is still swelled. i'm not in major pain. and i hadn't tested my endurance.. but i was wondering what everyone's advice on this?

Hello everyone! I just joined, and just got banded a week ago, July 17!! I'm pretty excited =D and I must admit Lapbandtalk helped me decide to go with the banding. I'm really excited about the journy. And it's really great to have a place to look to for support, topics and chit-chat about lapband. So hello fellow Julybandsters!
