Hey! I waited three months before going back to training and I only did the beginners class my first month back just to get my band use to jiu jitsu. The port area kinda felt weird at first training because you use your abdominal muscles so much but your port will stay in place even better once your muscles build all around it. But now I always forget about my band UNLESS someone puts their knee on my belly, arm, or something then i'm scared they will feel my port and get freaked out because no one at my academy knows i've had lap band surgery lol. Your so lucky to be able to train with the Gracies. I train at Gracie Barra all the way in Orlando Fl. I was never consistant with training at first before the band mainly because of my weight but now since i've lost some I train everyday. Keep me posted on how your doing!!

Hey, I lost about 8 pounds in the first month but I gained it back because I only lost it due to the liquid stage for after surgery healing. I didn't start physical activite or getting fills until three months after surgery, then finally I started to see results but slowly. I work out twelve hours a week and the weight still doesn't come off as fast as you would think but it's still better then gaining.
