I am going in for a fill and have always not worked out that day but wonder what you do? If you still do is your workout less intense. I plan on asking tomorrow but tend to forget my most important questions.

I have had 5 fills and have gone right on in and worked at my desk job with no problems at all.

I meant worked out at a gym.

Okay, yes I do work out at the gym on fill days, something like cardio on the treadmill maybe instead of heavy weights but I have never had a problem. I specifically asked my surgeon if there were any exercise things I could do that could dislodge or impact my band or port and he said No, you'd have to take a direct hit in the abdominal area (e.g. boxing) and I don't recommend that. Otherwise, cardio and weight training are no problem. My fills are pretty painless. At worst, I've taken a Tylenol for mild soreness but usually don't need anything.

On fill days I always try to get in to the Doc as early as possible so it dose not mess up the rest of my daily plan. I change very little for a fill. Although I have my work out finished long before I see the Doc in the day. I am self employed and some days are more demanding than others. I love this one from my Dr. do whatever you want with in reason!

My daily schedule doesn't change at all.

I'm usually a little sore (from my doctor trying to find the port) but I just do cardio and no weights but I haven't had any problems working out on the same day.

I try to get my fills at the end of the day so that I don't miss work, etc. I usually continue my regular work out (45 minute walk in the morning, 1 hour of pilates in evening, 35 minutes of cardio) even on fill days. Over all, you should listen to your body. If you feel too sore/upset to work out then you should rest. Everyone needs recovery time and we're all different- so even though I feel fine to continue with physical activity, you should not feel compelled if your body says otherwise.

I have always done my regular workout on fill days, including weights. My trainer, however, wouldn't allow any crunches. Not that I thought it would bother me. She was just afraid to mess anything up.

I usually lean towards cardio and will do legs on the days I've had a fill. Not sure if anyone told me that or just the voices in my head hahaha.
