Exercise after surgery

Hi can anyone shed any light when you can get back to some kind of normal exercise after surgery. I had a WLE and mammoplasy SN removal on 12th Sept. I have been doing my exercises physio gave me but really want to do bit more now, i’ve been and bought zumba fitness on Wii and last couple days just tried to do few bits for 5/10 mins as dont want to push it and do too much and undo all good work my surgeon has done. Can anyone give me any advise on this?? Thanks

Hi,
Be a good idea to telephone the physio dept and ask for advice on increasing your exercises.

Heather, you have posted this in the wrong place but I am sure a moderator will be along soon to move it. You should get more replies then about your query.

Hi Ventura29

I have moved your thread into the surgery forum where as Emmbee says hopefully you’ll get some more replies.

I have put for you below links to BCC’s publications regarding exercise following surgery, the second link is to our DVD which you may find helpful.
