Healing Time after surgery



Recommended Posts

Was just banded this week at TUFTS-NEMC, so far so good, can drink smoothies and eat Jello with FF cool whip, my question is about the tightness from stitching. I have never had abdominol surgery and I am curious as to how long it takes before my whole front loosens up again.

Any golfers out there, how long before you were back on the course swinging a club. While I am not a golfer, it's the closest sport I can think of as it relates to the movements of clay target shooting.

I look forward to your replies.

I was not allowed to exercise the first 6 weeks. Even if you are not so tight you might want to be careful not to develop any scar tissue because boy can that hurt and create problems later down the road. Just rest up until your doctor says its okay. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

(I have scar tissue from a previous abdominal surgery... OUCH).
