Excercise

[Karen19745]

Hi, please can somone tell me at what stages I can start walking, then swimming and then the gym.

I am having my op on 20th May and I have wrote a list of things I want to find out before I have the op.

Thanks Karen x

Walking an hour after you wake up post op, or that's how it was for me. Everything else should be cleared with your doctor, though swimming I would say six to eight weeks.

The gym will depend on the type of exercise, cardio again I'd say light workouts from eight weeks on the stationary bikes or ellipticals, and resistance from 12 weeks onward, though again you must clear any new form of routine with your GP

Good luck with it x
