Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hi Kerri, I have exercised 5 days a week for years & was in really good physical shape before the surgery. My doctor was very clear that there was to be no stomach exercises for 8 weeks. I followed his instruction & at 8 weeks I started crunches & I was glad I waited. I could tell how week the mucles were after being cut. I did howevert start working out again after 10 days, when he gave me the okay to drive. Hope this helps Open RNY 7/8/03 272.5/193/145? -- In Gastric_Bypass_Family , " kerri & pat " wrote: > hi was just wondering how soon I can start on stomach crunches??

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Again, I think all doctors are different in their opinions of what is okay and what isn't. I was told to walk every day for the first 4 weeks, then I could start swimming, then at 6 weeks I was clear to work out at the gym and whatever else I wanted to do-nothing before that. Anyone else told any differently? T. Lap RNY 6/20/03 432/313/170 Houston, Dr. Adam Naaman Visit my homepage at http://users3.ev1.net/~leeds/ " I will find my way, I can go the distance.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I was told walking only for four weeks. Then I could do weights with the exception of the stomach area which I needed to wait to 10 weeks out.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 No, I was told pretty much the same thing. After 6 weeks, I was back to regular duty, exercises and went back to work.
