I asked my doctor this same question, and he had said that I could do abdominal exercises after 6 weeks post-op and I shouldn't have any problems. I would go with how your body feels. If it makes you sore, then hold off a little longer.

My doc also said after six weeks, your stomach is healed and it will be OK to return to any exercise.

I am ready to try some crunches too, but plan to start with a WII fit routine as I think it will be gentler.... good luck!

I am also just over 3 months out and I have been doing Ab workouts for a while now... I started at probably 6 or 7 weeks out... I feel great ... the natural burn of the workout is normal and I would say you should be able to tolerate them :) good luck at the gym!!!
