At this point: Most surgeons including myself recommend waiting about 4 weeks prior to exercising after major surgery. Keep in mind every one is different so you really should just call your surgeon to confirm if it is okay to start exercising. Incidentally you are 1 month postop so you should be following up with your bariatric surgeon anyway.

Exercise at 1 week: You can walk right away. Usually treadmill at one week. Light weights after one-two weeks (<20lbs). Heavy weights after six weeks. Each doctor has some unique suggestions.
