Question:
I'm two weeks post op, how long do I have to wait before I can go to the gym

and start doing exercise classes and yoga classes?    — Karen P. (posted on March 12, 2001)

Hi, I am 3 weeks and 2 days post op and went to the gym last Thursday for the first time. Prior to then I was walking my kids to school and back through the park. (mile and a half at least) I feel wonderful. Most of my workout is limited to treadmill and exercise as weight training isn't recommended prior to 6 weeks (plus you don't get the benefit of aerobic activity.) Yoga would be perfect since it would also help with those days of feeling blue (not unique to this surgery) Good luck on your efforts!
