Sounds like with all the exercise you already do, you will do WONDERFUL after the surgery. I think the hardest thing for most overweight people who have the surgery (who didn't have much experience with exercise) is starting exercising. I am 8 weeks out and have lost 45 pounds ....I have yet to start walking (I know that is the best exercise) I have started doing some exercising in the pool at about 5 weeks. I feel really good, but a little on the tired side (I know that exercise is supposed to help with that). I think your surgeon will allow you to start walking IMMEDIATELY and start working out harder at about 6 weeks....not sure about the Martial Arts....I guess it really depends on how big your incision is. I know that they say it takes about 6 months for your new system to be completely healed. Good Luck and keep in touch. <!--more--> Sharon Jacksonville, FL = Open RNY 05/13/02 = Dr. Eric Thoburn Gainesville, Fl 5'9" 310/264 - 46bs in 8 weeks Welcome to the group.
