unsure if abdominal exercises will work????
My Husband will have RNY Dec 19th. I would like to follow next year. In the mean time I want to start exercising and eating better. In 1999 I had abdominal surgery. I had a desmoid tumor removed. It was very large (almost 8lbs).They were not sure what it was at the time of surgery or what they were going to do. I could wake up with no spleen,left lobe of the liver removed as well as a bowel resection.What they did find was this fibrous tumor was all in my muscles and not in the peritoneum. I was told my left side of the abdominal rectus muscle is removed. Now what does that mean for exercising? When I do stomach exercises I really do not feel anything,but I am very overweight. Once this muscle is cut can you strengthen the obliques or the rt side at all???? If anyone knows I would be greatfull. I want to taylor the exercises to what will work for my situation.
Thankyou
