barbie64 5 Posted July 7, 2012 Just wondering how soon after surgery did you start exercise? And what kind is most people doing? Cardio? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peachrena 3 Posted July 7, 2012 I had surgery June 5th, and walked 3 miles June 6th. My doctor okayed me to walk an hour a day, so that's what I've been trying to do, but slowly and gently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lalaj 108 Posted July 7, 2012 I started walking after my first post op visit--which was a week after surgery. I just started doing Zumba. Listen to your body. Take it easy and good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honk 780 Posted July 7, 2012 My doctor wanted me to be walking around the day after surgery. I was back to the gym on day 4. Started out 45 mins gradually moved to an hour at increasing speeds. At two weeks returned to swimming moderately a hour a day. Disclaimer I was doing an hour of swimming preop so I was'nt going from 0-60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
