You can start exercising properly 6 weeks post op Hun the hospital told me. I'm 3 weeks out also and couldn't face doing any exercise at the moment. Just walking round the shops is making me feel very uncomfortable :-( x

I am 4 and a half weeks out, Last night I returned back to cricket training, I feel fine this morning, The Stomach is not sore at all.

I plan to go gym and swimming 6 weeks out once I have had my follow up appointment. As the wounds should be healed by then is what they told me.

I have my next hospital appointment on 28th march so might join beginning of April thanks xx

Definitely 6 weeks and try to have your 6 weeks post op check first!
I went to Aqua fit last night, am 12 weeks now (had wound that wouldn't heal) and was great - mind I am aching in places that I forgot existed today, lol xx

I cut a conifer hedge today as my first real exercise since the op and felt really weak and knackered Pulled a muscle in my tummy and Ill be leaving it at least another week and starting more slowly.
