RNY and weight lifting

How long after surgery did you have to wait to do vigorous exercise? I want to get back to lifting weights on a machine.

i waited 12 weeks to start weight training on nautilus machines.  check with your dr.

I got the all clear after 4 weeks.  But for lifting heavy, make sure to listen to your body and take it slowly.  Ab muscles can take a while to heal and even though the cuts are small, they can still tear.

I got the all clear to lift weights at 6 weeks out.
