How Soon can one Exercise and what to do?

[EvanescenceFan 0]

Hey banders! My name is Jeremy and I was banded yesterday.

I know it is too soon to worry about exercising, I have to wait a month or so but I wanted to post something and interact with others and see how long you waited and what type of exercise you guys did?

Quite honestly I wanted to hire a personal trainer but kind of skeptical on it. I am committed to losing weight and have a positive attitude towards acheiving whatever I can! I set my expectations at a low bar so I don't get disappointed if I don't achieve what I initially desired!:wink:

Hey there Jeremy~

Welcome to Bandland. I waited right at a month to get back to the gym. I was told not to push it too much or too fast, b/c you can develop a hernia. Definately don't want that. So I started w/ cardio, Love the eliptical machine. Hope this helps! Good luck!:wink:

Hi Wonderwoman2009-

I was banded on a Monday, and went back to work on Friday for a 1/2 day. Of course, I have a desk job. But it worked out good for me. :wink:

Thank you TwlightLover83!! So I shall start up slow and take it form there gradually!

Wonderwoman, I was banded yesterday, I feel fine but I shall take off couple days from work. I am a technician and the doctor suggested to wait until monday, but I feel fine! You should hold on for couple days and depends on the nature of your job. Hope that helps!

My doctor told me that I needed to be walking 60 minutes a day, starting the very day after the surgery!
