Hi all, I am 5 weeks post op and started working out. I was a runner before surgery. When I run I feel this tugging in my stomach (assuming where incisions are) when my foot impacts ground. Has anyone else experiences this? Should I wait longer to run? I switched to elliptical but I hate it. Any thoughts??

At five weeks you are still healing so don't overdo it at this stage or it will set you back.

Suggest you ask your dr.

My doctor said walking only for the first 3 months. It may be a bit early for running. I would ask the doc, because if you are a long time runner, it may be that you could start earlier. You have had major surgery, so give your body time to heal!

Did your surgeon give you clearance to exercise? My doctor gave me the ok to exercise with no restrictions at 8 weeks post op. Ask your doctor!
