Question after surgery

I had my surgery on Jan 5, 2011 and am doing amazing!. I was wondering if it is to soon to go bowling or lift weights?

Thanks!

Glad to hear you're doing so well. I had my surgery on November 16th and wasn't allowed to lift anything heavier and 6 pounds for the first six weeks. The only exercise I was allowed to do was cardio...walking, treadmill, cycling, etc. Ask your surgeon, he/she may have her own instructions. Best of luck!!

Thanks for the feed back. Best Wishes.

I had my surgery week after yours.   I'm also doing well.   My surgeon said nothing but walking for 6 weeks.   Hopefully when I go back on March 7th he'll let me get back into more stuff.  
Take care,
Susan

Susan, You and I were banded on the same day. I'm doing pretty well myself so far so good:)

I'd definitely call your surgeon. As good as you are doing you don't want to hurt your recovery.

I bowl in a league and I was allowed to go back after 3 weeks but if I felt any kind of pain or discomfort I had to stop.

But before you do check in with your doc first everybody is different :o)

I had mine on the 6th - my surgeon said water aerobics were okay but to be careful not to strain my abdominal area.

I had mine January 7, 2011 and am not allowed excessive exercise for six weeks as well.
