mamamia89 22 Posted October 17, 2012 I was banded 10-12-12 and just wondering when everyone started working out?!! Obviously I'm not trying to do abdominal workouts yet but like light weights and anything else!!! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icestorm12132008 39 Posted October 17, 2012 question for you: Do you still have staples/sutures? if yes then no swimming or weights or treadmill work. You can however take light walks and trust me you will work up a sweat just doing that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can however take light walks and trust me you will work up a sweat just doing that I don't have staples, they said I have steristips but I can't see anything besides black scar things. Lol I don't plan to swim but I'd like to do some light treadmill soon and light weights for my arms :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RosaG 1 Posted October 18, 2012 I think everyone is different. I was banded on 10/5 and my surgeon told me no working out until 10/22 which includes brisk walking or any treadmill work, no swimming for 8 weeks' and to take it easy. I also have steristrips. My 2 week post op appointment is on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana2363 21 Posted October 18, 2012 I was told no lifting 10+ pounds and light walks. I was banded 10/9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MiniMi 1,468 Posted October 18, 2012 I was banded 10/5. I am supposed to walk 20 min 3x a day. A bit much so I only do it twice. I was told that treadmill was last option because you put more force on you abdomin with treadmill vs street walking ( no pun intended!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
