[Suzanne5000]

I am 2.5 years post op and was told by Dr Chris my surgeon straight after that i shouldnt do any sit-up or crunches as its put direct strain on my band..

Have u tried zumba, it's a brill exercise for all yr core muscles, I have it at home on the wii ready for when I can exercise as I am only 10 days post op, but my friends have lost quite a few inches by doing it regularly xx

what about pilates? its strengthens the core muscles - not sure how it would work with ur band as I have had a bypass
