Dr Jossart,
Is strength training safe starting 4 months post-vsg in the presence of a 4 mm epiphrenic diverticulum (confirmed as present, by 4 physicians, see photo below) that extends to the left of the esophagus? Could the increase in intrathoracic pressure, and increased heart rate, possibly cause the diverticulum to rupture causing a leak? Thank you for your comments.
