Hi Everyone

I have an horrific fear of doing situps once I'm banded next tuesday. I just keep thinking it will make my band slipp.

How long did you wait to do situps after getting the band?

Any advice is appreciated

My surgeon strictly stated before and after my surgery, "Do NOT do sit-ups because they can cause your port to flip."

No a slipped band but a flipped port.

I'd suggest discussing with surgeon. I was given clearance to resume ALL activities no limitations after 6 weeks. for several months off and on; I've participated in a bootcamp at my gym; this includes running, jumping rope, sit ups, push ups...

I will warn you that initially you will feel some discomfort around the port area; however, this will go away in time - it took about 6 months for me not to feel discomfort in port area after strenuous exercise.

Again, talk w/ your doc before proceeding.

Much success...
