Hi, it's been 5 months after my vsg surgery and i want to start workout. Is it safe to start body building now? Should i avoid any movements and is it safe to make about 200 sit-ups everyday ?.

Thanks.

I just had my 7 week check up and the doctor took all restrictions off of me. I think you will be fine just listen to your body if it hurts stop. I cant even imagine doing 200 sit ups but thats just me if you can do it go for it.

Thanks for the info queenie. I' ll make half sit-ups.

My doc said that some movements might cause Hiatal Hernia but i don't really remember what exactly he said. I cant reach him right now cuz hes abroad, guess i'll start with light workout schedule and stop if my body hurts like you said.

At 5 months post op you are a green light for ALL activity.

Thats great. Thanks Curvy.

i would think you would be ok, but i would build up to it at a slow pace & not full on hard core... Listen to your body... and when you can, double check with your Doc or Nut.

Good luck

My surgeon cleared me for weight training two weeks after surgery. However, I'm listening to my body and taking it easy. My energy still isn't what it was pre-op.

i was cleared for ALL gym activity at 6 wks. i am just joining a gym this week at 8 wks post op but looking forward to melting off more pounds!
