I'm only 1 week post op and want to know how soon did others start exercising?

I started after I got my staples out and my incisions healed so I would say about 2 weeks post op. I started off lite by using my son's Xbox and playin Your Shape but now that I am 1 month post-op I started the gym on monday and have not had any problems.

I started using the treadmill at the gym (slow and no incline) four days post op gradually increased the time. At 2 weeks I returned to lap swimming. Freestyle stroke, nothing that would pull the abdominal muscles. Highly recommend swimming; great for the overweight because it is easier on the joints. I use a water proof MP3 player which I LOVE. Makes the time go back so much faster. NSV, I recently moved to a regular swim suit from the kind with the "fat lady skirt". But don't worry I still a fat lady!

I started at the gym 12 days post op. But I got bored my first week home, so by like day 6 or 7 I was actually playing my Michael Jackson dance Wii game. Not crazy hard, because I was worried about ruining something, but I did it. And technically I exercised on day 8 too, by digging my car out of over a foot of snow (I don't recommend doing that though)

Well it just started snowing where I live I live in tn and u can count on me not going out there I don't get along with the cold or snow. Thanks for everyones advise!
