Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  How long before ab work
Was wondering how long people waited before doing situps or crunches. Those who are hernia free can answer this question, that is one of my worries. I know, wait for surgeon clearance, but wondering how long for most people.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

I think I had to wait 4 weeks before any real stuff....they don't want you to damage staple lines/incisions etc...I think it was nothing heavier than 10 pounds in the first month to 6 weeks!

3-6 months depending on the surgeon. Before that, stick to walking mostly, some light exercises with some surgeons. How long were you told not to lift heaby stuff? Think in that term, if you haven't asked your surgoen yet. And yes, ask your surgeon.
