Anyone know how long before you can start bowling? I am now 2 weeks post-op.

Thanks to anyone who answers.....

basically your good to go as long as you no longer wave a weight lift limit and are all healed up.. basically when you feel good enough.. BUt take it easy:wub:

I asked my surgeon today about lifting and eercise after surgery and he said you cant hurt anything unless you hit your port very har like falling he said lifting may make you sore but wouldnt hurt anythin and advised me to be back in the gym after a week....................soo I would say if it doesnt cause discomfort it should be ok .

That depends on how heavy the ball is. You had your lower stomach stitched to your upper stmach, and the p[ort stitched to your inside wall, you wouldn't want to tear those stitches. I would wait 4-6 weeks. When in doubt, throw it out! It's just not worth all you've invested.

I started bowling 3 weeks post-op. I bowl with a 14 pound ball...and I was good. :regular_smile: I love to bowl!

My doc had me wait six weeks. Good luck.
