I know some start early, but I don't know if I should be going now. All of the stitches and glue are gone from my incisions and I am about a month into being banded. My first fill is Friday. Should I maybe try the gym now? I live on an air force base, so it's free. My friend does these Zoomba dancing classes and they look like they work the core...I just don't wanna hurt myself. I sometimes feel sore from bending too much.

Hold off til you get clearance from your doc before doing ab/core work. Just to make sure your port is firmly attached.

WALK....walk...walk...you need a while to HEAL still

Hello! I started back at the gym 2 weeks after surgery. I was on clear liquids for the first 2 weeks...which made me nervous to get back into my workout. From what I have read... jaciqltz is correct, Walk, walk, walk. I prefer to sweat in the gym. So, the treadmill is a great way to start. It is wise to take it easy at first. Build up... :thumbup: Good luck!
