Exercise after surgery - when?, what?

I am sure I will get the answer to this from my surgeon, but I wanted to ask here as well. Here is my mini survey:

  • How soon did you start exercising after surgery?
  • What kinds of activities?
  • Were you active prior to surgery?

Trying to make some plans. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi! I was banded on Feb 8,2008 and took it easy the first week. About 3 weeks before the procedure i started walking and was up to about 3 miles 3 or 4 times a week. the first days after the procedure I walked a little but kept it minimal. On Sunday Feb 17th (a week after) I went to the gym and walked 2 miles on the treadmill. It took me almost an hour to do it but i was able to finish it and do the bike for about 20 minutes.
