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.
