I just want to know when is a good time to start exercising and I mean more than walking. I'm three weeks post op and my energy is starting to come back. I've looked up bariatric chair exercises on YouTube and more, but I'm a little concerned if they'll bother my stomach with the knee lifts

It's best to get clearance from your surgical team before starting any exercise routine. This honestly holds true after any surgery, not just bariatric surgery. Most will give you the okay between 2 and 6 weeks post-op, but it really is up to the surgeon.

My team said walking only until six weeks post op. But as SpartanMaker stated, always get the clearance from your surgical team.

What we forget is the healing going on in our insides. Its a major cut to heal and as the others say go on your teams ok.
