Has anyone done tai chi or forza after lap band? Pilates? yoga? What are some good exercise programs to start with? What about later? When can you start aerobic types? How soon after surgery can you start anything other than walking, which I plan to do tons of. Water aerobics? Spinning? Just wondering where to start after leading a sedentary life with fibro.

I would ask my Doctor just to be safe. I was banded March 31st and am already walking 3 miles 6 days a week. as far as other workouts, when I feel comfortable im gonna do them. I am ready for the workouts. Good Luck

My surgeon's office instructed no exercise other than walking for 6 weeks after.

I sugest starting out small and working up to what you want to do.

You may not be able to do a whole Tai-chi class but you can do what you can. then next time you can do more.

I think you are suposed to take it easy for the first 6 weeks after surgery then when your dr gives you the ok you can do more.

Mine said to wait 6 months too. After that I started the Body for Life workout by Bill Phillips. It really got me motivated and now I am into alking, weights and Trikking daily, except for my Sundays off to recouperate. Check out Bodyforlife.com

Mine only said six weeks.

OOPS, dumb thumb typo. Should have been 6 weeks.....

LOL I was wondering who your doctor was. lol

Everytime I see mine He wants to know what excercising I am doing.
