How long do you have to wait after surgery before you can start exercising?

6 weeks,walking is allowed obviously but u have to allow your tummy muscles time to heal on the inside xx

When is swimming allowed?

 

[Nellyphant]

I was also told 6 weeks and only walking before.

My doctor said walking for 20 to 30minutes as soon as possible for 8 weeks. She said then I could do swimming, aerobics and weights. I mentioned my op to my trainer (9 weeks after op) and she said not abs work out yet like sit ups. Not in a mood to exercise today but I keep thinking that I just have to get it over and done with. Wish me luck

Going back to exercise following an stomach surgery you'll need to be very careful. Before beginning you should seek advice from your Dr. and have a approval from him.
