How long after surgery...



Recommended Posts

How long after surgery did you start running/working out again. I know what my Doctor recommends but I'm just curious. I'm three weeks postop and I feel great I really want to start doing real exercise. I can't take the wait!!

@@EP8 - I waited 6 weeks before back to my pilates routine and weights but I was at the gym at 1 week on the treadmill and at 3 weeks I was on the bike and elliptical (slowly).

I feel exactly the same - I am just over 2 weeks post op and I feel great and full of energy. I am walking 4km per day but want to start going back to the gym. My doctor recommended 3 weeks so I am going back on Sunday and I will take it really easy and listen to my body! I was super active before the surgery so itching to get back!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
