LapBand and Exercise
Thoughts? Were you able to move a lot in the first few weeks? How about later on -- were sports possible? Thanks!!
I was in the hospital for 5 days after surgery (complication). But i was at the gym approximately a week after surgery walking on the treadmill (not that fast - kept the heart rate monitor on so I wouldn't over do it). I was on the elliptical within 3 weeks of surgery. My heart rate was all over the place because of the recovery and less eating - so just take it easy.
