When Can I Go To The Gym

[iriegirl 7]

The instruction I got was about four weeks post op- but I feel so excited to start losing weight- I'm dying to get working -but at the same time I want to make sure it's safe and that I don't hurt myself

Any advice?

I was banded March 12th...went to the gym for the first time yesterday and did 45 minutes on the elliptical. MY INCISION SITES HURT TERRIBLY especially the port site. I didn't feel anything while working out only once I was done so maybe If you start off very slowly you'll be okay.

I wouldn't push it....as mentioned you're still healing! Check with your doc as to when you can go back and what you can do.

U should get dr Clearence first. Don't want to damage anything

My dr told me I was fine to do cardio just not weight lifting but I still think it was too soon.

My fiance was just banded on February 15th and at his post op visit 2 weeks after, his surgeon said he could start exercising...just no crazy-heavy weights or abdominal exercises for 6 months. I seem to remember my surgeon saying the same thing to me. Just go easy and listen to your body. If something hurts, stop and talk to your doctor about it.
