How many weeks do you think you have to wait to ride bikes after surgery...I had internal hernia surgery on July 4th and a little scared to start exercising..I think its suppose to be 6 weeks?

I'd really talk to your surgeon that worked on your hernia.  Lifting restrictions for RNY surgery are generally 15 pounds for about 3 weeks.  Your hernia surgeon is familiar with your specific surgery, and would be the best source of this recommendation.  I doubt riding a bike would be too bad, unless you are riding in an area with a lot of hilly terrain.

I would start with walking, if I were you. It seems like there'd be less stress on your midsection walking than riding a bike.

I agree with Laura...  Give your doctor a call too though just to make sure it is OK because you don't want to hurt yourself!
