I was banded 6/20/13 and I've lost 17.5 - 19 lbs depending on the day, or even time of day. Haha! Anyway, I've been running this past week and have been considering adding on my Tae-Bo videos. Is that too vigorous?

So far I've lost:

1 inch in my waist and hips

.75 inch in my upper arms

Almost 2 inches in each thigh.

Your advice is much appreciated.

I don't think so. My doctor did not give me any exclusions regarding exercise. He basically said that no exercise was going to dislodge the band, so to go for my life. I think as long as you feel up to it, and your doctor didn't tell you specifically not to exercise, I think exercising is a great way to recover!

Thanks. Running really helped me dislodge some of the residual gas too. Maybe tomorrow I will give it a go!

I agree with lellow, do whatever your body tells you it can do. Just don't "over-do". Best wishes!

Way to go! Just listen to your body and go for it!
