Incision Tenderness with Ab Exercises

[GummyBearQueen 115]

Hi, all. I’m three months post-sleeve and it has been a smooth journey thus far. No food restrictions (not even bread or chicken breast), easy healing, and steady loss.

However, now that I’m incorporating more intense exercise, I notice I can feel my large incision when I’m doing ab exercises. It’s not pain, but I definitely know it’s there.

Anyone else experience this?

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews regarding exercising after surgery. I know that for most people, you get cleared at 6 weeks post-op to do more intensive activities. However, I've heard great success stories for people that didn't go all out with exercises until 4-6 months post op. I know that everyone is different, but I would definitely talk to your physician to get a definitive answer and solution.
