Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start lifting heavy weights immediately?

No. You must wait for full medical clearance from your surgeon, typically 6-12 weeks, to avoid hernia risks and ensure proper scar tissue healing.

How do I manage belly fat without doing sit-ups?

Focus on a caloric deficit through nutrition and low-impact movement like walking, which burns fat without putting excessive stress on the abdominal incision.
