First fill/starting to exercise?

[K1SM3T 1]

Hey everyone!

I have two questions.

1. How long after surgery till your first fill?

2. How long after surgery were you allowed to exercise?

Thanks!

Had my first fill 6 weeks after surgery. Not sure about excersise, I would guess about 2 weeks. Took me a while to hit the gym so I never even asked.

6 weeks until the fill, and I walked until I seen my surgeon, and asked about exercise. He told me 6 weeks out ! your fine to go and work out, but take it easy, no need for a Hernia...

Not sure about the fill, I didn't get one til 5 months. For exercise, at my post op at 9 days, I was given the ok for cardio, but to wait 3 more weeks for weights.

I was told 4 weeks for exercise... But to start walking the day after surgery and go farther and longer everyday. I'm almost 2 months out with no fill. Everyone is different. Id say most people get one around 6 weeks though. I just have restriction and am losing about 3 lbs a week so my doctor said no fill for me :-)

My first fill was about 4 weeks out. I went back to the gym using the tread mill starting slowly (30 minutes) at day 4. My doctor said I could resume lap swimming (which I was doing 7 days a week) after 2 weeks.

4 weeks after surgery for first fill. Was told I can go back to the gym at my 1 week post-op follow up appointment. (but don't overdo it with the weights)

Whirlpool and sauna was OK after 1 week also.

I had my first fill at 4 weeks. I started walking for exercise the same day as surgery (doc's orders). The surgeon had me wait 4 weeks to get back to crunches and jogging though.
