My appendix has just been removed. when will i be able to resume any heavy lifting or excercise such as swimming?

What did surgeon say: The expert is the person who did your surgery and always the best person to ask. Never feel shy to ask these important questions of your surgeon. They prefer you get the best follow up care and are there to help. General guidelines though are swimming in 4 weeks and heavy lifting in 6 weeks if you are feeling well.. Good luck!
