Asked By:aarivera530

Hello! I have lost 240 pounds naturally before skin removal surgeries! I was very into fitness and the gym for physical and mental health. I am 2 weeks post op extended brachioplasty. Can i start walking a mile or 2 outside?? AND mot importantly...when is it truly okay to be doing “cardio” like on the stair master or elliptical? actually SWEATING? and for how long? Obviously I know weight lifting is probably 8 weeks to be safe...but cardio and other exercises to get back routine.
