becsbeads 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Hi all, I do a lot of reading on this site but rarely ask questions so here it goes. I have not seen this asked, and will check with my doctor, but thought I would ask you too. Has anyone used one of those tummy belts? The ones with the electrodes that works your ab muscles? Do you know what I mean?? You just put on the belt and turn on the device and it makes your muscles contract every so many seconds. I was recently given one of those brand new and thought I would try it out while I was on the treadmill but wasn't sure how it would affect the port area. Has anyone tried this or know anything about it??? Just curious. I don't want to hurt my port in any way. Thanks in advance for any advice. bec Dr. Malley 12/29/05 283/253/150ish -30lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'llsucceed 1 Posted February 20, 2006 See if you can return it somewhere & get some money back Or sell it in a garage sale this spring. They are a gimmick & do absolutely nothing for you except deter your focus from a real workout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
