I don't see why it would be a problem. Contact your surgeon's office for an
official answer.

You should check with your surgeon to be released for this - it will depend
on type of surgery as well. I was released at 4 weeks, but I had lap VGS.
Congrats! You are doing great.

I had open RNY and was told to wait 12 weeks before doing any weight
lifting. I could do all the cardio I felt comfortable with, so I
concentrated on that in the beginning.

Call your doctor to make sure, but mine released me at 3 months to do
whatever I wanted. I work with a trainer and core muscles are the
concentration. I am a little over 6 months out.
