I am really missing being able to work out. How long did it take for you to start working out and running after your operation?

    Hi taara112,

    I am not a runner, but I would say it took me 3-4 weeks to feel like my old self after my laparoscopy. I would say as soon as you feel up to it, go ahead and try. You may want to check with your doctor as well.

    Hope this helps!

    Absolutely check with doctor/surgeon. Whoever did your surgery knows exactly what was done, and exactly what is at risk if you start running or having sex too soon.
