Lapband, hernias, and situps

Does anyone know the incidence of hernias after surgery. I want to push on stomach exercises after surgery and time to heal, but does the surgery prevent anyone from heavy weights and lots of ab exercises?

Tnx

    Ask your doctor before thinking about it any further, k?

    I was at my post-op appt yesterday (three weeks out). When I told my doc I had returned to the gym he said "STOP". It takes 6 weeks for the stomach and port area to heal. Cardio is ok, but no weights/sit-ups, etc.
