A member asked:
How long after an appendectomy can you lift weights?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to wait 30 days: If the appendectomy was done using a minimally invasive technique like laraoscopy, i advise no weight training for 3 weeks after surgery. If the surgery was done open, i advise no weight training or heavy work for 6 weeks. This assumes there were no wound complications from the original procedure.
