I'm 17 years old and had heart surgery over 6 months ago. The first most important thing is to start walking at least 3 times a day for 20 minutes or whatever you are capable of. Next, after a month or so, start rehab at some sort of facilitty. You will feel so much better about yourself and feel like a normal person again. try to push yourself to keep improving. After 4 months I was at the point of playing Basketball again and now I can almost do anything I want without worrying too much about my body.

When you have the lap band surgery do you still need to do a lot of exercise?

I guess it all depends on how long it has been since your surgery. As with any surgery, you should consult your doc about exercise. Most surgeons want you to exercise by "breaking a sweat" 3-5 times per week. This can be done by walking, doing water aerobics, etc. Anything that may be considered "strenuous" may have to be avoided the first couple of months after surgery. As your journey progresses, you should be able to do more and more as the pounds come off.
