Hello, I have a question that I am hoping some can help with. I was banded on 8/20 and I am ready to go back to exercising. Are there any restrictions that would not allow me too. Also, I am still on a full liquid diet in which I upgrade to softs next week. Any advise. Please advise.

I was told that while I was healing, walking was the main exercise to do. No lifting or vacumning either. No swimming for 6 weeks. Hope this helps.

Hi, Minnie! I was banded 8/17. I was also told to keep up with the walking. I can increase the walking as I feel up to it. I will be considered "healed" at 6 weeks post-op and can start an excercise routine at that time. Especially NO abdominal muscle use! Happy walking! :-)
