exercise advice please!

I had my op last Monday (18th jan) . Seen the surgeon twice since then for check ups and everything is healing well and looking good! My question is, I was told to wait around 10/12 weeks for exercising…. I just wondered if this was true with anyone else or have you been given other advice? I only do exercise dvds at home 3/4 times a week, so it’s not weight lifting at the gym or running etc. Any advice is welcome! Xx

Hi Babe, I just had my 6 week check up and was told that I can do light exercises but nothing heavy impact and also to be sure to have a maximum support sports bra so your breats don’t move around at all. I think maybe wait till your 6 week post op check up, see what they say and also see how you feel then as everyone heals differently. xxx

Thank you so much for your reply! I might just stick to a bit of squatting ? xx

Be careful!

My client started exercising at 4weeks and told me it was ok (I knew nothing about recovery then). Then the following week she was in and out of hospital because of a really bad infection. They gave her antibiotics. Then she had to get stitched up again because she started to get a hole.

Im a trainer and I am training for a competition so its going to be extremely hard not to do anything but i personally think its really not worth the risk.

I say wait at least 5 weeks. But if they have given you a longer time thats because they feel you’re slower at healing.

Just be careful xx

I have gone back to the gym lifting weights and paced walking on incline on treadmill. Going light on most things compared to what I would do but I seem fine xx

I’m just over 6 weeks too xx

Thank you ladies! I’ll leave it at least 6 weeks and then just do gentle increasing maybe just power walking etc! Thank you! Xxx
