Started working out last night - very light work out - couple miles on treadmill, a couple of laps in the pool. Will be meeting with a personal trainer later this week. Has anyone experienced any difficulty in doing certain exercises due to the lap band??

When I started working out about 6 weeks after surgery my port would get sore just from walking so I kind of hold it in when I walked but that went away. Now I run for miles and feel fine. I have a little trouble with my port area getting sore if I do a lot of sit ups or kicking in my workout. My doctor said I'm not restricted and to do anything I'm comfortable with.

Bro Rob hello and to answer your question, no I haven't had any issues personally, at first I had a little irritation at the port site but after I fully healed it got better, good luck on your journey cant wait to see your results...

I work out everyday 1 1/2 -2 hrs a whole variety of different exercises...I've had no issues...once in a while muscle around my port gets sore but my PA said thats normal and fine:-) enjoy your workouts

Belly flops are out lol.

Actually the only thing I wanted to add is that for some ppl when they lose most of their fat will have an exposed port. Makes for easy fills but it can also be palpated and manipulated alot easier to. So laying on your stomach may cause discomfort (think back lifts). That is all I can think of. There is nothing physically you should not be able to do so it'll have to be an experiment. Obviously anything that gives you severe pain or lasting discomfort should be nixed off the workout regimen

I would not necessarily say they are limited, but I do not like the feel of doing jumping jacks, I'm a year out and still do not like to do them, so I don't . It feels like the port is moving up and down and just worries me.
