Mountain biking should be out of the question for awhile. At least six weeks. If you should crash ...

In the gym, on a stationary bike ... I was biking a few days after surgery. But you have to be healed to be out and about.

Talk to your surgeon.

How is the biking going? Im going to get sleeved soon and I would love to have cycling as part of my exercise routine, not mountain biking just on paved trails and such.

I was thinking about this too. I am getting sleeved during my Spring Break, but have class about a week and a half after. I bike to and from class and work. Would a week and a half be enough time? It is pretty light biking for about 40 mins total a day.

I think what the surgeons worry about us what happens if you should crash. If you should tear your staple line before it has time to fully heal ... You could be in for some serious trouble.

That is why they put the 6 week time frame on activities such as this.
