RNY Gastric Bypass Post-op exercise

Hi, Everyone,
Does anyone know how long you should leave it before making full use of a gym (treadmill, weights, etc), post bypass? What have various teams advised? Thanks

Hi WLW.

I was advised by the team at Walsall Manor that exercise was fine from 6 weeks, but no stomach crunches etc until at least 3 months. They also said swimming was OK once the wounds were fully healed as long as it was gentle exercise only.

Hope that helps x

i was back at the gym within 2 weeks, but just gentle walking on the treadmill...back to full workouts now...no abs work for me as i hace a rather large hernia from the wound, but everything else is fine, you have to listen to your surgeon(even tho i didn't, was fed up with doing nowt), but also listen to your body
