Lets talk excercise !!!!!!

Hi, I'm new will be banded on Nov. 15. Does anyone know the stats on excercising. Specifically, running and sit-ups, and also weight lifting. I have a very physical job and need to know when I can start to do these things safely. Any comments or advice. Thank You...

Only your surgeon can clear you for any physical activity as all surgeons are different. At my one week post-op appointment I was cleared for more walking, recumbent bikes, and no lifting over 25lbs. That was about the extent of it though for me.

Thanks for the input. I have heard that as well I just wanted to know what you all experienced in that dept.

Thank you

I was cleared for all exercise at my 6 week post op appointment. It all depends on your healing and your surgeons recommendations.

I was banded on October 15 and at my appointment on October 4, my doctor said I could start doing the treadmill and exercise bike whenever I felt up to it.

How are you feeling after your surgery? Does it hurt to walk fast or strech?

Thanks
