Hey dudes and dudettes! How is everyone doing so far with their band? I also have a question. What exercises for the tummy are you comfortable with doing, without hurting or straining. I know ab workouts can sometimes be really painful. Let me know what you all do to keep or help to get the tummy in check! Talk to you all later, Peace & Blessings on your WL Challenge.

My doctor told me not to do any kind of crunches or ab exercises and no weight training for at least 3 months after surgery. They want to make sure the band is in tact and completely healed before you risk jarring your port loose or slipping your band. That's just what I was told though. Personally, I can't wait to be able to do ab exercises, but I would rather be safe than sorry!:cross-eye

the pilaties ball is great, and I do crunches. I wan't told to not do them.
