Thanks for the info!!

I would say try first and if you don't have trouble then keep it up. Pain will probably depend on where your port is located. My is right at my waist band and it hurts every time I squat down or bend over. NP says it's because of my port position.

I do them and don't have pain.

Just curious why you cant do crunches?

The port could flip.

I am newly banded on 9/13 and my surgeon placed my port in my chest. He placed a small incision under my left arm and the port is near there I assume. I can't feel it at all. His rationale is that the chest cavity is the most stationary part of the body and ports there tend not flip. Anyone heard of this?

I have heard of it, but it is rare. Sounds better to me. Plus you don't have to worry about it being as obvious and sticking out as you loose weight I wouldn't think.

I wasn't told I couldn't do crunches...I've been doing them! Crap!

Why on earth would you want to do Burpees!!! Kidding, each to their own, but I'd rather die!!

I do crunches and was never told I couldn't. I even asked and was told it was fine. Every doctor is different though I guess.

I had surgery May 2012 and have not found any exercise I can't do, nor have I been told I shouldn't. Sometimes when I do body rolls for aerial silks class I can feel when I roll over my port now, but besides that I don't even know its there!
