Sit ups

[kate85 6]

I am over 7weeks post op and I wanna know if it is ok to do sit ups now and have others have.

You should get clearance from doc for exercise, and I recommend a personal trainer. There are way more effective exervises than sit ups that are easier to perform. They still fatigue the ab muscles but don't strain the neck and back like a sit up. Even one month with a trainer to get you started would be a wonderful idea. Good luvk!!

Just discuss with your surgeon. Mine told me that there wasn't any exercise I could do that would injure the band.

Mine told me to NEVER do situps.

But I'm a bad bad listener....

Sit ups are the last exercise I would introduce because of the strain they put on the abdominal muscles. I would wait a LEAST a month after surgery to start doing them.
