Exercise/tone-up question...

Hey OH Fam!,

I am two weeks and 2 days post-op and would like to know how soon will i be able to start working  out again?? I want to start working on my legs/thighs and arms, but I dont want to start too early if its going to harm me. Any advice please?

Holla,
Flo

Hello
U should have your next dr.s appt soon right, at least in another 2 weeks or so. Dont work out until you get clearance from your dr saying its ok. Im sure right after that u can get started, nothing too strainful. I started working with a personal trainer after my 2nd month.

I was one week post op when i started walking and the doctor said get up and go. I did 30-40 min at a time. Some people have to just listen to their bodies in the beginning. No wieghts thats too soon. I was told wieghts after 30 days. Your doing great girl.

I joined a gym 1 week after surgery.  Started off just walking on the treadmill.  It's all about how you feel, I think i healed kinda quickly---the gas was my biggest issue not pain or anything from surgery.  So I was good.  If u are unsure, then def check with your surgeon at your follow up.

Flo- depends on your doc - I was 6 weeks post op before I hit the gym.

Yeah, I will check with my surgeon. I know i can't prevent saggy skin, but i wanted to work on them ASAP, but its not worth me hurting myself too early. I guess i will be walking until then.

Thanks errbody!!
