Yes. Once you're well healed, and you can ask your surgeon if you have doubts as to when that will be, there isn't any sport I know of (except maybe competitive eating LOL) that is off limits.

Yep, I've been told it takes 6 mo. to completely heal and until then you have to be somewhat careful of the port site (watch sports where you're on/using stomach ie. booogie boarding), but your band (slippage) is pretty much protected by your body. Unless you plan to eat the golf balls LOL you'll be fine.

So much for the weenie-eating contests...my doc told me I will prob feel the port when belly down on the old surfboard but I wont hurt it! I'm so bad at it I'm probably more likely to crack my skull!!! Cali
