I had the gastric sleeve procedure on Monday, march 19, 2007 and I was wondering when I can hit the gym again?  So many are telling me to sleep and sip but no exercise.  I want to give my body time to heal but I don't want to be lazy.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!!

I guess it depends on what you call working out.  I had a sleeve in 01/2006 and began walking immediately....as in first day out of the hospital but I took it slow and steadily increased intensity.  I waited about six weeks for anything that resembled ab work or weights as I was told no heavy lifting for that period of time.

Great!  I was thinking that i would hit the gym for about 30 minutes of casual walking on the treadmill on Monday - which will be one week post op for me.  I won't do abs or lift until 4 weeks out on your recommendation - thanks for the help. Chris
