Accepted exercised after open colectomy

I'm 3 months post op after open cut sigmoid colectomy. Been sticking to the basics, a lot of walking, light lifting, etc. Is it safe for me to start progressing to heavier programs?

Glenda. Check with your doctor. Dont play with this as you dont want to set youreself back

I agree. I do know it's going to take 6 months for both muscles and nerves to heal , that I did ask, then 1 year for my organs from my stomach down to heal. I was a mess when he opened me, very close to death. I'm extremely careful about what I do so will stick with walking and light housework.
