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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
