Exercise question

Hello!

I am pre op and I'm wondering if exercising before the surgery helps with quicker healing? Does it become easier to exercise after surgery if you started it before surgery? How long after surgery ( I'm getting rny) can you start exercising? And how much of a role does exercising/ weight training help with the excess skin. Thanks!

      My surgery is tomorrow morning. I will be on the treadmill for an hour tonight as I am every night. If I had time in the morning i would do it right before surgery. Good luck! :-)

    So i have my nutrition appt March 24. Psych eval March 31 and surgical consult April 10. So I was hoping late April or early May. It will probably early May because of insurance approval and availability of the surgeon. I'm so excited. My sister and I are actually doing this together and my other sister had bypass 8 years ago. I'm 23 and my sister is 25. It's going to be a whole new life.
