Ab Exercises

[Guest guest]

So I know this is a commonly discussed issue... in one of my other groups

there are quite a number of people saying that their band slipped because of

ab exercises and apparently different doctors say different things. I have

spoken with my doctor and he told me that 2 mo after surgery you can start

doing ab exercises again without a problem. Obviously, I am going to take

the advice of my doctor, but I am curious as to the " anatomy " of it all.

The band is placed next to muscle... what happen as the muscles grow with

exercise?? How does that affect my restriction in the long term??? I

noticed that after starting the exercises my abs were much much more sore

than they were pre-surgery when I exercised and I did significantly fewer

reps which makes sense I suppose because I haven't used the muscles in a

while Any thoughts???
