Is the Stair Stepper OK at 2 weeks post op?

Asked By:jrncm in Ohio, OH

Hi! Had tummybtuck with abdominal tightening as well as breast implant revision and mastopexy , going from saline over the muscle to silicone under the muscle. I was told I can do light cardio post op. Of course I don't want to overdo it, but I am anxious to get back to an exercise routine. Would 20 minutes on the stair stepper be acceptable, providing I keep the settings low or would incline walking on treadmill be better?
