I had Lap Rny and at 4 weeks out I had no physical limitations(per my doctor) whatsoever. It took me awhile to get into it just beacuse I did not exercise before surgery, but now I do aerobics 3 days a week. You should double check with your surgeon though just to make sure. Good Luck!

I don't do arobics, but I did start an easy cardio and weight routine at 4 weeks out. (NOT DOING ANY ABS!!). I got the okay to do a full workout with abs at six weeks from my surgeon. Now I do 30 minutes cardio, stretching, abs, and weights about 3 times per week. I feel great!

I started back to Jazzercise, kind of like aerobics, at 3 months post op. At first the ab exercise were a little tough....but with time it gets better. Im now 6 months post op...and able to do all the ab exercises. Just listen to your own body.
