Well my doctor said to take it easy until the first fill basically just walking. I think you will be fine to start of just walking. Plus it will help with your healing process. Just be careful. :laugh:

I think going to the gym just to walk is fantastic! It will get you inspired to exercise when you are released to do it from your doctor.

You'll be comfortable in the gym environment and maybe have a friendly face or two by that time too. All pluses if you ask me.

Just don't do anything that pulls or pushes until 6 weeks out.

I started walking on the treadmill the day after surgery. I paced around my home too. Just so I could get moving. Be mindfull of your surgery site and tummy. You are healing. Don't do anything that hurts.
