My doc okayed me to do any type of aerobic exercise -- but no lifting weights for about 8 - 10 weeks.

I primarily walked and did the elliptical machine -- those are still my primary methods of exercise.

I started with walking about 35 minutes and worked up to at least an hour (now I run/walk).

I started the elliptical with about 4 minutes -- and then worked my way up to 45 - 60 minutes.

Good luck --- my fills were all very easy ---- weight check/ blood pressure check - then a short visit with the surgeon and on the table for a little 'stick' --- stand up, drink cold water to make sure it goes down easily -- and out the door.  Liquids the rest of the day --- soft/mushies the next day -- then regular food carefully as tolerated.

I always made my next appointment (3 - 4 weeks away) before I left the office.
