when to go back to the gym?

when would it be good to get back to the gym and do the workout stuff?

i know part of it is doc recommended, but i was curious of the thoughts out there....

My Doc told me WALK ONLY for the first 4 months post op........but that I could work on my arms............just no belly excercises. LOL But I walked A LOT!!!!! ;o)

best advice is to ask your doctor what his guidelines are.

My 1st suggestion: Ask your doc

That being said, I think it differs whether your WLS is done LAP or Open. I had LAP RNY and at 6 weeks my doc said I could go full force on everything but my abdominal muscles.  Good luck at the gym!! I think the gym has become my transfer addiction!! :)

I totally agree with April....My Doc cleared me for exercise 6 weeks post op.  All docs are different you should definitely your surgeon. Take care.

DVR cleared ne for exercise at 5 weeks out :  2 days later I joined a gym :

The rest is history:  definatly a gym rat here :  at least I was but I'm working my way

 back up to my high of 10-12 hours a week:  currently this week I stand at 6 so

I figure on getting in at least another 1-2 before sunday.

But the best suggestion is ask your Dr.
