It's 2 weeks since I had the vertical sleeve. How long till I can hit the gym. Dr said to relax for close to a month but didn't really say much after that.

Ideas????

I was told to wait 4 - 6 weeks, and then start slow...I was so very anxious to get started, but glad I waited!!

I started 2 weeks post op. Just walking on the treadmill. I couldn't wait..it was maddening sitting at home doing absolutely nothing and not seeing my weight go down. Needless to say now that I'm active the scale is back moving.

I began slowly at 2 weeks (treadmill, bike). At 4 weeks, i began my regular workout (including weight machines), but took it slow. I am now 5 1/2 weeks out and I love going to the gym!

P.s. this is exactly as my doc recommended for me. Ask your team!
