Swimming & Weight Lifting

[TexasMiss 314]

I am 6 weeks 2 days out. Monday I am going to get a membership at the health and wellness center and kick start my exercise routine. I have read several times we are healed at 6 weeks. I want to start swimming and weight lifting...am I good to go?

My doctor said swimming was fine a week post-op. I started swimming laps 9 days post-op. I had been swimming laps regularly before surgery, and I am continuing to do so now that I am 4 weeks post-op. I have no idea on the weight lifting. I know that running requires some time as well. But my surgeon said swimming was just fine!

My dr had said swimming was fine as soon as the wounds had healed. And I was able to start lifting weights at 4 weeks out. But he advised to start slow an not push to hard. Good Luck.

I was wondering the same thing! I'm glad to hear about the swimming, I love to swim!

I love to swim too! I just hate shaving and so I didn't go tonight...
