weight lifting and swimming

[btradio]

Does anyone know what the rules are around when we can lift weights and or swim after surgery?

I think swimming is ok after 3-4 weeks as long as your incisions look ok. As for weight lifting, no abdomen workouts for 3 months I believe....

Hi,

I went back to swimming - lightly at 4 weeks, then got more intense as my incisions healed. No ab work for 4 months, only now have I been able to go back to the "bending" portion of my yoga without discomfort.
