Generally, How long after surgery can you start pretty easy looking senior fitness classes at the gym?

I was cleared to do pretty much everything except for weights at four weeks out (although walking I could do right away, of course...)

p.s. I had to wait eight weeks before doing weights.

I was cleared for light cardio 4 weeks and full game on Cross fit and weights at 12 weeks- Good choice you will shred the pounds and get tighter as you are losing weight.

As usual, every surgeon's recommendation is different and a lot of it will depend on you personally.

I was allowed back to gym and lifting weights at my two week appt but I was fairly fit prior to surgery. And had a very easy RNY with no pain or complications.

I would definitely defer to your surgeon as every individual is different.

But hey in the meantime you can walk your tushy off.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
