How soon after a laparoscopy can I go back to weight lifting?
I have finally gotten a date for my laparoscopy and I am so relieved to hopefully soon find out what’s going on! However I am incredibly nervous as I did not quite realise how extensive this surgery is, and I’ve been taken aback reading that people are saying they weren’t able to lift heavy weights for up to 3 months. I’ve even seen comments from people saying their abdominals have never been the same and their gym routine changed permanently. I know this seems silly, but the gym and lifting weights has honestly saved my life. And the thought of not being able to do it for that long is terrifying to me. Almost more terrifying than just living with the pain, although that’s not very rational as it’s been getting increasingly worse for me and I’m sure it will continue to do so. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but are there any other gym fanatics who’s had this procedure and who wants to share their experience? Thanks in advance!
