How Long After Surgery Before Strenuous Excercise?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Four months out from surgery, today in fact. Last night was my first time doing really heavy exercise. I stared the 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels, and let me tell you, I am in pain. Though it was only 20 minutes or so I feel like I may have done some damage to my stomach. I am having a lot of discomfort. I am wondering if I could have possibly damaged something this far out from surgery,or if I am just being too dramatic? Any ideas guys?

It's hard for me to think that you've damaged something as a result of the surgery that far out. If there's damage, it may just be from doing something that you've not done before or dove in without easing into it....? If so, sounds like that would've happen pre or post surgery and not caused by the surgery. I'm really hoping it's just sore abs. I'm guessing there was a lot of core work involved with this and I'm guessing i'st just soreness. Is there any intense shooting pain involved? If it doesn't go away in 3 or 4 days, it could be some damage instead of soreness. I wish you the best with it and keep us updated!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
