I had laparoscopic apendix exactly 2 wks ago and have nopain and my surgeon gave me greenlight to start playing soccer but im scared it might openup?

Go ahead.: if your surgeon gave you the green light to start, you should be okay. The chances of your wound opening up are very small. You should take into account, though, that you've been out of practice now for several weeks, so you should ease yourself back into playing shape. Don't use 100% exertion your first day back. Good luck.
