How long do you have to wait before doing sit ups or ab crunches, etc?

I dream of having a defined torso (I won't ever have a six pack, but some definition would be nice). Are there risks of doing heavy abs workouts after the initial healing/recovery? I know not right away, but in the months following surgery, do intense ab workouts put the incisions, staples or new pouch at risk?
