A member asked:
Sir, is weight lifting or body building permissible after appendectomy? if yes than at what level it should be taken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take your time: Most surgeons recommend waiting about 4 weeks after surgery to resume exercise. Most of us would have our patients go slowly when they restart their activities. The best person to consult with is you own surgeon. He or she should give you guidelines.
