I asked my surgeon today about lifting and eercise after surgery and he said you cant hurt anything unless you hit your port very har like falling he said lifting may make you sore but wouldnt hurt anythin and advised me to be back in the gym after a week....................soo I would say if it doesnt cause discomfort it should be ok .

That depends on how heavy the ball is. You had your lower stomach stitched to your upper stmach, and the p[ort stitched to your inside wall, you wouldn't want to tear those stitches. I would wait 4-6 weeks. When in doubt, throw it out! It's just not worth all you've invested.

      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.
