I was banded 10-12-12 and just wondering when everyone started working out?!! Obviously I'm not trying to do abdominal workouts yet but like light weights and anything else!!! Thanks!

NO weights!!!! This early. I was back to the treadmill day four, elliptical day 11, swimming day 15.

question for you:

Do you still have staples/sutures? if yes then no swimming or weights or treadmill work.

You can however take light walks and trust me you will work up a sweat just doing that

I don't have staples, they said I have steristips but I can't see anything besides black scar things. Lol I don't plan to swim but I'd like to do some light treadmill soon and light weights for my arms :/

I think everyone is different. I was banded on 10/5 and my surgeon told me no working out until 10/22 which includes brisk walking or any treadmill work, no swimming for 8 weeks' and to take it easy. I also have steristrips. My 2 week post op appointment is on Friday.

He also said no lifting anything 5lbs. +

I was told no lifting 10+ pounds and light walks. I was banded 10/9.

I was banded 10/5. I am supposed to walk 20 min 3x a day. A bit much so I only do it twice. I was told that treadmill was last option because you put more force on you abdomin with treadmill vs street walking ( no pun intended!)

The Y is calling my name. I need to move but still sore

I was banded yesterday and I havea breast cancer walk early Saturday morning. Hope I am feeling up to it been planning it at work for quite a long time.

A 5k? You should be alright by then. Just don't try to go to fast.

Yeah it's 5k but most don't jog or run most just wear as much pink as possible lol

My doctor says walking 15 min a day when you can. Exercise 3 weeks after surgery....
