Exercise

I just saw my DR and I forgot to ask him when I can start doing ab crunches. Does any our veterans know when?

I believe my doc clears you at 3 months. I started at about 1.5 months and weighted crunches at 2 - but don't tell anybody!

My doc said no heavy lifting for eight weeks, so my interpretation of that is no weight lifting until eight weeks post-op. My weights are out and ready ...

If in doubt you really should email him and ask... as if you do something which puts your sleeve at risk and you get a leak you could risk more surgery... which might not be covered if you've done stuff before he clears you to do so as everyone has different dates at which they clear you to do exercise.

Thank u both for the response. I will wait a few more weeks since I'm only 4 weeks out today.
