A member asked:
Are there any exercises (besides walking) i can do immediately after an appendectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: you should not lift heavy objects >10-15 pounds for 6 weeks, but other activity should be encouraged if it doesn't hurt ex. Biking, yoga, hiking, skiing. Swimming generally okay after 2 weeks if no open or infected wounds
