I GOT APPROVED!
Hi Everyone! I'm new to this sight and just found out today that I was approved My surgery date is March 7th. I have recently started exercising and am looking forward to becoming a runner. I signed up for a marathon in May... so that will be my first fitness goal. I can't wait to start actively living! Any recommendations for pre-op exercise? Also, how long after your surgery before you could hit the gym?
You are having your surgery in March and planning on running a marathon in May. Good luck. Amibitious, but not sure you are giving yourself adequate time to train for a marathon. Most people don't even know how their new plumbing works after three months. Might be more practical to start smaller, like a 5k and work your way up to a marathon. I would be real surprised if your surgeon would give you clearance for a marathon in that short a time span.
