Exercise and activity restriciton after surgery

[2Bsmaller18 437]

I just came across an article that said that restrictions after bypass was walking only for 30 days. Then maybe add swimming but no weight lifting/strength training for 4 months and no high impact for a year. That seemed conservative so I wanted to see what others were told. I have not had the final meeting with my surgeon so I don't have his specific recommendations.

Don't believe everything on the internet.

Your surgical team will have its own unique activity rules and you will have education about it. But ask lots of questions!!

My doc and team had me up walking the first day and every day thereafter for as long as I could. They wanted me to work toward walking 1 hour continuous each and every day.

At 6 weeks, I was released to do weight training.

I had and uncomplicated RNY (laparascopic)

I had the DS done and I am allowed to do all activities at 4-6 weeks.

Mine was walking only for 6 weeks for as much as i could and then released for my ballroom dance classes and gym training at 6 weeks..

No activity restrictions after laparoscopic RNY other than a 30 lb lifting limit. Walking or the elliptical are my most common forms of exercise at this point. A little more weight loss and I'll try light interval jog/walk.
