exercise w/an interstim?

[BLOORE74]

I have had ic since 2002, & be4 I got sick I weighed 147lbs now I weigh 206lbs! I have never told anyone, this. I feel comfortable w/everyone here, your great! But I am in constant pain, but I wanna try 2 do something about my stomach. It looks terrible, that's the worst part! :( My question is does anyone have an interstim & able 2 exercise? I used 2 do the ab wheel, I lost 70lbs for my sisters wedding on 08-11-2001. I worked soooooo hard, & since I've been sick & I gained it all back! I am crying now just thinking about it.:( I have an interstim & it broke once be4, & I was still home on medical leave. I go from the bed 2 the couch, how could it have broken? There went another $56,000 out the window! I want 2 try 2 work on my stomach but I don't want 2 break the crappy thing again. Any advice?

I have had the interstim for four years. I walk everyday on the treadmill or outside. I canoe, swim and snorkel. I personally stay away from any sport that has a high risk of falling such as skiing or skating. Maybe it was just bad luck the first time.

I have the interstim, and I do pilates, walk, swim, etc. The only thing I was warned against was doing pilates too soon after surgery...they said wait at least 4 weeks after the generator was implanted.
