How long after surgery, before you can work out?

My doctor said absolutely not until after my 1 month check up! Buttttt I miss it and want to be back to my normal routine.. I feel so lazy!

He is right...it will take about a month before you can get back into a gym. I am at my 60th day and I still cannot do sit ups or any ab machines but I am on the elliptical, treadmill, and weights daily.

6 weeks, no exceptions, no discussion at my clinic. Your band and port are sewn into place and although you feel good, you are still healing inside. You can walk. Good set of headphones, good music and walk away. Don't risk it, it is not worth it.

It's 20 degrees outside lol I usually walk at the gym.. I put my membership on medical hold and my dr won't give me a note to reactivate it until the 7th (not to bad) I tried walking around the mall but it's always so crowded...

Can't wait for warmer weather!

I was back at the gym doing treadmill on day 4 and swimming day 14.

I just had my 2 week check and he said I have no restrictions and can start exercising whenever I'm ready!

My doc said walk, walk, walk away....but wait to do any other high impact exercising and/or sports until 6 weeks out. Good for you for wanting to "get at it" but be careful and patient.

Check it with your doc first, but listen to your body when you do start. Because things are sewn into place just be cautious.

Walking, swimming (once surgery spots are healed), repetitive arm routines are all easy things to do while we are on restricted movement. Your motivation to get started is awesome, just wait to make sure that when you do , it counts.

You are not lazy! This band is work in all it phases. Stay positive, you got this Cheers
