Hello!

I was banded on March 17th and am starting to feel good! How soon is too soon to exercise?

I'm not sure how long it takes to "heal your insides". I dont want to ruin anything but would LOVE to get out and start doing some exercise.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey,

General rule seems to be 4-6 weeks. For me:

0-2 Weeks walking only

2-4 Weeks cardio eliptical or bike

4-6 Weeks Weights

6+ Weeks Abs and heavy weights

I was told to get walking immediately---cardio of any kind was fine as soon as I felt up to it.

For weight/resistance training, I was green-lighted after the 4-week check.

I was given the same directions at Betsy.
