Hello! It's been 11 months since my APR and colostomy. I have regained almost all my strength after my chemotherapy last May 2011. I'm thinking of getting back my old body back and I want to enroll in a fitness center again. Is it okay to go to a gym with a colostomy? I'm concerned about the hernia or busting my ass or stitches ever. Is it okay to do weights or aerobics? Please advise, I'm a regular gym addict before and I really want to do my workouts again. If not, what kind of exercise can you recommend? Thanks a lot and God bless you all!
