Post OP Exersising.

Hello all, I had my surgery on the 21st of Jan. and have been home not even a week yet. I live in Germany. So things are a bit different then back in the States. (Air Force) my doctor only does the operation part. no info after that...so doing this alone has been a learning experence. anyway I am wanting to know with having the full open surgery when is it best to start exersising.

Teri, a good friend of mine had open band.. but her doc encouraged her to walk walk walk.. Most of the people I hear talk.. say that their docs say that walking is all that is needed right now. She said that she would get more instructions at her 6 wk appt.. but for now.. walking will do. NO info post surgery??? wow.. that is hard.. Listen.. I feel kind of funny I've offered this to so many people,,, but I have a word doc that I"ve saved with bits of info that i've gathered from different profiles and things that I've seen.. I'd be glad to send it to you if you would like Take care and WALK! ~ Jan post/op 1/16/04 -27lbs YEA

Hi Teri I had an open RNY on 1/5. My MD told me to walk, walk, walk as soon as I got home. Best of Luck! Carolyn
