Hi All"

I was wondering what you thought about this. I was banded on July 24, and the dr. said no abdominal work. My usual exercise program is a circuit type program (like Curves, but a different organization). I went back today and began with some simple step work (one step up and down). A little bit of arm work (bicep curls) and a little walking in place, and some time on the stationery bike.

I went pretty slowly, but I could actually feel the little work I did.

Do you think its too soon to start working out even if I do it really lightly and stop when I feel resistance or discomfort?

Thanks,

I'm not a doctor so don't sue me...but I was allowed to do full excersize one week post-op. I did weight training and felt fine. I would say that what you described should be fine because it's not much different than regular daily activity (stepping--staircases).

I had to wait 3 weeks after surgery to do anything beyond walking.
