I'm almost 1 month Post Op.... I've been experiencing the worse heart Burns... I was told it will get better but the questions is When? Can anyone relate?
-
My surgery went well it's been 3 weeks and I'm recovering very well... The two lower incisions are the most painful and take the longest to heal but it's not something I can't handle.... My doctor told me I can go back to work on light duty for about 3 weeks and that I can go to the gym... I just have to be careful with my core... I was told that at two months I would feel completely healed... Can't wait ) the toughest thing I'm going through is finding foods I can purée and enjoy as well )

Thank you guys all this info is great... I started going to the gym but only doing 20-30 min walks on the treadmill... I do some leg work outs and arms but Nothing that requires heavy lifting.... I'm being very careful... How ever I find that sitting a lot really hurts my incisions.... I do light exercise and enough resting... It's just weird how after relaxing or resting for too long... That's when I feel sore...
-
I recently also just had my revision done I'm two weeks post Op.... Although I'm still healing the worse part has been the lower abdominal incisions... As You said itching and pants can be challenging... Ill stick to yoga pants for now... lol so far in very happy with what I've done no regrets.... Soft food recipes? !??... Yes please!!! Good luck w/ your journey

That's great strength training is a little harsh I would be careful or ask before you can start that class... I love them classes btw
-
Thank you guys one thing is for sure I do is always listen to my body... But just very anxious to start the gym

Every day since surgery I walk what I can... But every time I go Out and walk for a while I get home to feel more pain.... Today I spent all day Out of My house I did walking for a couple hours in the morning at a festival I attended and all though I spent the rest of the day just sitting now I'm in so much pain.... My back aches from only being able to sleep on my back I try laying sitting up a little and flat either way I'm always aching ... My body is definitely still weak but I want to work on building my strength again... The only question is how and when?
-
I got my surgery on 4/16 I was very active in the gym prior to surgery... I'm still recovering but being that I had the removal of the lapband and the sleeve done at the same time my body is taking a little longer to recover... My question is When can I start the Gym... I went to see my doctor for a one week post op and of course I forgot to ask like the most important questions... Help thanks
-
I got the surgery 10days ago and I have Not experienced nausea at all that definitely sounds like a problem... Your doctor can prescribe you nausea meds but it seems like your body is reacting to the change... Were you on a liquid diet prior to surgery and if so for how long?

Have you worked out during the weight loss? There are a lot of work outs that improve the muscles on your butt area
