    Everyone is different. You need to wait until your scars have healed to prevent infection. Congratulations on your band. Happy New Year!!!!

    Yes, ask your surgeon, but mine made me wait 6-weeks. I do water aerobics as my choice of exercise due to my arthritis. I did GREAT with it. In between I walked and did a bicycle at the gym. Swimming was the least boring. Good luck to you!

    I waited about 6 weeks. I had an infection in my surgical site, and I just couldn't wait for it to heal completely. It was fine.
