By when can you start doing cross trainer or the epileptic trainer? I feel it's ones of the best workouts for shaping. I had my surgery on the 27th of sep... I'm tired of resting and want to start working out Xu I don't want any loose skin.

This sounds like a great question for your surgeon.

Yeah. It'll probably be another couple of weeks. When i was in the process people coming in for their 1 month post op visit were wondering if they would get the O.K to work out. Be careful. Don't rush things. You don't want to cause more harm than good.

My surgeon said not before 8 weeks

My surgeon cleared me at 8 weeks also.

My surgeon said not until you can eat at least 800 calories a day.

I was given the okay at 2 weeks post op, a few days ago. I was told that I can jog and do any classes that don't have any abrupt stopping or pulling, basically no boot camps. No lifting over 16 pounds.

Sounds great

I was cleared for the elliptical on day 8, watching to not engage my core. As usual, ever surgeon is different, so check with yours!

I was allowed to take Water aerobics classes at my Y at 5 weeks. I love my classes and can't wait for approval to go into the gym.
