When did everyone get clearer for working out?



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks post-op. I had my surgery in Mexico so don't have a follow up Doctor.

I walk most everyday but truly would love to start working out sometime soon. Thank you in advance.

My surgeon personally cleared me at 6 weeks post-op to basically do whatever kind of exercise I felt comfortable with. That being said, I had no complications or problems, so it might be slower for someone who did.

Cleared at 4 weeks. Had no complications

I had my surgery in Mexico, too. The doctor told me to wait 6 weeks before starting any heavy exercise. Every doctor is different, though.

I was cleared 1 week after surgery but my incision was open so I only walked for the first month. I'm 2 months out and my incision is still healing so I only do mild exercise.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
