Please check w/your doctor 1st... I think I had a few months before I could do weights and in my boot camp we workout w/weights... And we do a lot of crunches... You are still healing so IMHO ck w/your doc to get clearance ...

Good Luck! I'm VERY scared to do a bootcamp!

I'm 55 and I do boot camp at 24 hr fitness every week .. It's no that bad - am sweating like a pig by the end of class - but I can hang w/the young ones..

I love bootcamp. there's always a wide range of fitness levels and yep, some people puke, lol. I finish the class drenched and really exhausted, but its like any fitness activity, you put in what your fitness level allows you to. so dont be afraid of it, its great fun.

I did it before surgery- best decision EVER!

I am only 4 days out from surgery now but am dying to get back to it. However I am kinda scared. The bootcamp program (like you described - special program not just a workout class) was VERY vigorous and physical. I stayed bruised up. I am so scared the amount of sit ups and going over rope walls and everything else will mess with the port. Thoughts?

Check w/your Doctor as to when you can start doing it again - I couldn't do crunches for a while or lift weights don't remember how long - Ck w/your doc.

Gastric banding is becoming a more and more popular means of weight loss. Gastric banding is an operation performed under general anasthetic. A surgeon will place an adjustable band around the top of the stomach to create a small pouch to hold food.

I came to New You Boot Camp 12st, when I left I was 11st 3lb. Since boot camp I have continued with the exercise and now know what to eat. I have lost nearly another two stone taking me down to 9stone 12lbs. I never thought I’d ever be in my 9 stones ever... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I checked with my doctor last week at my first fill and he said I could do Bootcamp !!! sooo excited but scared !!! Today is my first day...I will let you guys know how it goes !!! :thumbup:

I went back last night for the first time in about 4 weeks - I'm having chemo and have a picc line in my arm that I had to let heal up and become well implanted.

Boy oh boy am I going to be sore by tomorrow, lol. And I could tell I have a few less red blood cells than I did a few weeks ago, a few of those burpees had me seeing black spots.

But oh, how I love brutal exercise, lol.

Good luck with yours, you'll have a ball.
