Yes it's a pretty quick process once you get all the test and the mandatory labs dealing with the surgery completed. The  longest for me was the waiting in between appointments before seeing the surgeon. Keep miving forward and you will be banded soon.

So glad it helped you.   I would love to meet you.   I have seen you post on here and It's always great to meet Dr B's patients.    Don't  you just love him,  he is so funny,  but he is very serious about following the rules.     later..   good luck with your exercise..;....

congart!!!!!! i'm just string so hopfull my moves just as fast. good luck!

Hey guys!

I was just wondering how soon RNY post-ops can begin going to the gym for exercising?  I am a month out as of Nov. 14th and I'm already beginning to see a little flab under my arms (batwings) and a little slack between my legs on my upper thighs.   I do plenty of walking, but I have no equipment at home except for a small stair-stepper and some resistence bands that were given to me last weekend for my birthday.  I haven't used them at all because I didn't know where I should or not.

Yesterday, I raked the entire yard and beside feeling tired, I didn't hurt or anything.  As a matter of fact, I haven't had a pain what so ever since the drain came out.  I've had no nausea or vomiting either.  I have had a little constipation, but wasn't sure what to do for that either.

I'm a patient of Dr. Bour's, so I was just wondering what you guys did for exercise and when.

Take care and thanks for the advise!
