I was banded 11 days ago. I feel good. Healing and recovering nicely. Back to work. I was wondering when most of you started going back to the gym. I would like to start going back this weekend but I heard to take 6 weeks off. I feel pretty good to do a light cardio work out and some weights. Any thoughts?

Started cardio at like 2 weeks and weight machines like 4 weeks

I was allowed to do cardio at 2 weeks and no weights until 6 weeks just to make sure everything was fully healed.

I waited three weeks, but I went out and walked (2.5 miles) everyday after day 7.

I had my surgery May 2nd and have been going to the gym for more than a week. I'm only allowed to do elliptical and treadmill. I won't be able to do strength training for another two weeks. If you feel good, start doing light cardio

My Doc let me go back after 1 week. Told me not to over do it with any weights. Said it was Ok to sit in the sauna and whirlpool also.

my doctor said walking only for the first month. after that i can go back to the gym, bike riding, and swimming.

i am itching for June to get here so i can get moving. walking doesn't do a lot for me..i walk all the time anyway. i need the cardio and the weight. my scale hasn't moved since surgery day
