How do u know u r ready to exercise? I am at 6 weeks post op and i still have pain from time to time just from walking? Now my doc did say she thinks my port is hitting my rib causing the discomfort. If it doesnt stop they will have to go in and move it. other than walking, what exercises can i do that arent strenuous? Doc said i can do zumba but my body doesnt feel like i can lol

If your Dr. cleared you, then it is up to you when you're ready....After 3 days I was climbing the walls....I did do a lot of walking, then Dr. cleared me 7 days after surgery....

I started three months before my surgery, riding a stationary bike .... At 280 pounds, I could barely put my weight on my legs.... It was just too painful to walk or do the elliptical. The bike seat bares your weight, so it's a great way to start cardio workouts.... In my opinion.
