Suggestions for exercise with sore incisions...

[uscgal97 0]

Hi all - I'll be six weeks post-op on Thursday and will then be able to exercise without restriction. My question is, whenever I've just jogged or walked kinda quickly, i notice that my incisions are still a little tender. Even when I touch them they hurt a bit. Did this happen to you and if so, what did you do to begin working out without the discomfort? One of my friends mentioned getting those workout abdominal wraps so it provides some support while running. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

i didn't have any pain, but it could be a good idea, try those pads, or something that holds your tummy tight....

I am only 11 days post op and began walking a couple of days ago. I am walking at a steady pace for 30 minutes... about 1.5 miles. I walk in my neighborhood and we have hills and inclines. I have noticed that my port area is very sensative and sore ... even a bit of swelling. My doctor wants me to walk... I am just wondering if this is normal. I have been icing the port area and taking some liquid tylenol. Should I stop walking for a while or is this ok?:tongue2:

I started working out yesterday and I notice that I get this sharp pain right under my port incision. I just ignore it. lol
