post op gastric by pass contact sports

after having gastric bypass surgery i would love to resume some of my old contact sporting habits like football and rugby. i would like to even take up some new ones that ive always wanted to do like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai kick boxing. now i know there is a risk of injury in any one of these sports but will i be even more susceptible to internal injurys after gastric bypass?

Casey, this is really a question to ask your doctor. But I believe the doc is going to suggest you refrain from direct contact sports that might involve impact in the area of the stomach. It may not be that you're more susceptible to internal injury, but that wrap can only stand 'so much' pressure or pulling/pushing. There are only so 'many' times the wrap can be redone. I'm not sure it's worth chancing the possibility of injuring the wrap and it's attachments.
