How long do you need to wait before you can go back to gym postop?

i was sleeved on a Tuesday and was back in the gym the following Monday. Now, I walked on the treadmill, but about 2 weeks later, I was doing more. Your Dr. should give you clearance on when you can start lifting. I had to wait a couple of weeks before I could lift more than 10 pounds.

This is great to hear. I have been a gym member now for about 6 weeks and love going. They have a pool which is why I joined this particular gym. I get sleeved on April 9th and am taking a month off from work.

I was told 2 weeks for pools, 6 weeks for full activity in the gym. I'll be back in the gym in a few days, just over 3 weeks post op but only walking/light jogging.
