I know that walking is important after surgery. But does anyone know if

it's ok to use the treadmill before your 2 week post opt appointment? I

have a membership to a gym, and because it's starting to get warm and

muggy today I thought it would be a good idea to go there instead of

walking around my neighborhood. What do you think?

Thanks

My doctor told me walking was fine as long as it wasn't in excess. I would say it's a natural function so I am sure it's ok. Just make sure to listen to your body and not over do it.

walking should be fine. just don't over do it and start off slow.

good luck with your exercise routine!:Angel_anim:

I was at the gym on the treadmill one week post-op. Granted, I was only doing like 2.5 for 30 minutes. But, I think the key is to just get moving, don't overdo it.
