Sharp abdominal pains while exercising

I have recently begun a very rigorous core workout routine including Pilates and Yoga among other exercises. I did this to address new lower back issues and avoid surgery. I am experiencing sharp pains (almost feels like a rubber band snapping against the inside of my abdomen muscles) only while I am exercising my abs. I was banded back in 2005 and was told once a long time ago that sometimes I might feel pinching where the port tube goes through the abdomen wall. Has anyone else experienced this sensation while exercising?

I did have a pulling sensation after trying out belly dancing.

Around the port area maybe. Check with your doctor and ask for advice.

Discomfort maybe but not sharp pains. I do a lot of cardio and strength training for the past year and half and sometimes I may feel a twinge when I do a lot of crunches but not really pain. I do imagine that we could build scar tissue around our band, if I was you I would discuss with my physician if it continues. Better safe than sorry.

Some times a get like a cramp in my side. I usually try to breathe through it.
