Hi

I'm just over three weeks post band and am wondering when I could start exercise??

I feel like I need to be doing more to help myself but I don't wanna do myself any damage!

When would it be safe to go swimming?? X

you can return swimming when you've had stitches removed or glue has gone and the wounds are clear and healed. Light exercise for first 5-6 weeks and slowly building up. Check with your provider tho as mine advises no ab crunches and no sit ups due to damage it can cause to port and tubing and the band.
