How long till I can exercise?

I had my anchor incision TT on Jan 8th, and feeling almost back to normal. Still some swelling, but otherwise good.

How long until I can start exercising again? I'm walking, but that's about it. Now I want to work on these thighs of mine.

My Dr. told me 6 weeks after both of my surgeries. I'd check w/ your Dr. to see what their requirements are.

I had my TT on the same day. I still have some swelling too. Glad to know I am not alone. I haven't began exercising yet either. I go back to see my surgeon on the 18th and will ask then. Do you have any before and after pictures? Would love to see if you do.

I just posted some pics, so see if you can get to them.

Your journal says all pictures have been moved or deleted.

WOW!!! You looked alot like I did prior to surgery but, I think you look better than I do after. I wanted the anchor but Dr. decided during surgery that it wouldn't do enough to do it. Not happy about that but what do you do when it's over. I know what he says makes since but, my mind says different.

You must be happy!

Hugs and thanks for the pictures!

Thanks. I have more to lose (another 30), but very happy with everything so far. I found this surgery so much easier than the first one.

I had an achor cut LBL and BL on Jan 14th.  My doctor told me I could start back walking on the treadmill and lifting weights when I was 5 weeks out.  He said I cannot do anything that engages my core and I cannot run or jump for another month.  But be warned...when I started back with weights and the treadmill I swelled up even MORE than I was before!!  YUCK!!  I hate the swelling, but don't want to not exercise and sit around and gain my weight back either!  At leas****er weight is temporary...

Good to know, thank you!
