Pool - Your incisions need to be healed (assuming you had RNY)..... Gym, I waited 8 weeks, however I agree with the previous post, discuss with your surgeon to clear your restrictions on lifting. Everyone is different.

I was advised (RNY 6/2/09) no gym or pool for 4 weeks post op. I did, however map out distances with my car preop and was able to reach 1 mile a day till I was 4 weeks out from surgery so until you get to the gym walk...walk...walk. On the 3rd week I also added 3 lb hand weights for my arms. Good luck to you....
