How soon can you start working on your abs



Recommended Posts

I would like to start a boot camp class, but I am unsure if it is to early for me to work on my abs. I had my surgery on March 11,2012 and wonder if it is to early to start doing sit ups.

Ask your doc, not everyone is the same. He/ she is looking at you, monitoring your healing progression. Exciting that you are fired up to do it!

Talked with my doctor and he said after 6 weeks. Cheznoel, you were right on the money, but like everyone suggested, it is best to confirm with your doctor. So...since my surgery was done on March 11, this week is my six week post op :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
