TWH - Exercise PostOp
Hey all,
Wondering if anyone can provide me with some specific info. I know at the one month check in (group session) they showed us some slides about exercise really quickly. BUT I can't remember what is ok when.
6 weeks out now, really want to start a routine that involves more than walking. Weights & Cardio. Hopefully swimming.
Help me with the guidelines - I called the center last week but nobody has called me back yet. Next appointment isn't until Dec.
Thanks!

They told us that you can slowly add stuff as you see fit, but absolutely NOTHING that involves your core (abdomen****il 4 months post op.

I was allowed to start swimming as soon as my incisions healed, but my family doctor had to see them first and then he approved me.

Hmmm - I haven't seen my surgeon since before my surgery. For the five minutes before I went in. Was the first and last time I've met him.
The nurse was super rushed with the checkup - she did my vitals and looked at my incisions. Then we did the group nutrition.
Funny how different every program is...
