Quick question....for all ppl out there that have been lap banded how soon did you start exercising and what did you do?? I am curious because I feel ready to start walking but didn't know of if I started on the elliptical that may be to much for now? I just got banded 2 weeks ago but walking is not an option right now because of the weather outside either raining or frik'n hot w/humidity. I have an elliptical and want to start using it...do you think it's okay?? Feed back would be great!!
I started the treadmill the day after I got out of the hospital (I was in there for 5 days).
I didn't start the elliptical until about 4 weeks post op. My heart rate was way to high on the treadmill to even think about it. Once it started regulating, I started the ellipitical machine.
