Yoga and the band: any risk of slippage?



Recommended Posts

I posted this is the main forum yesterday and no one answered me, so I'm trying again here.

I just recently took up power yoga and am concerned that some of the moves could increase the risk of slippage because they can cause your internal organs to shift.

Has anyone heard anything about this or know if yoga is safe with the band?

Thanks!

this is an interesting question. I wanted to start doing yoga ... I dont know what the difference is between yoga and power yoga but I would like to know? Have you asked your doctor ? Or found an answer ?

I have tried out some hatha yoga dvd's at home and haven't had any issues, but this may be a good question for the doc. I'd like to know, considering I liked the dvd's and would like to continue to do them.

My reply is really not about yoga,.. but i was afraid to do crunches and i told the nurse that does my fills and thaught it was funny, saying its okay to do cruches just listen to your body thats all.. Also im on a womens kickball team and i got hit couple time on my port area,.. is that bad..

I wouldn't think that it was good to get hit in the port area, but if you aren't having any pain, I wouldn't give too much thought to it...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
