I have a question. I am Pre-Op. I started exercising slowly 6 months ago, walking and weights, and now i really enjoy it. I was wondering how long do you have to wait Post-Op to get back into it? Or is everyone different? I really don't want to get too much off my schedule.

Also, after the gastric is it difficult to get enough calories in to go for a long walk? or be away from the bathroom long? thank you

I was told not to do anything more strenuous than walking for about six weeks, but to walk as soon as possible and as much as possible. I haven't really had a hard time getting enough calories to exercise, and I can be away from the bathroom for a while.

Now everyone is different. But my Dr. told me to walk at least 20 minutes a day and add a minute or two every day..

Now in my case I'm actually doing alot more. I feel more than capable to do so. My wife and I do roughly a 5K which is 3.2 miles every other day..

Thank you for the replies, i'm still trying to decide between the lap band or the gastric but i'm hoping the exericise will help out.
