Exercising post surgery & reconstruction

Hi all - 1st time on the forum. I had my surgery 6th May 2011 (no further treatment) & want some practical advice on: maybe returning to the gym, do’s and dont’s of exercising.

Also can anybody give me an idea on when this implant will begin feeling less like a brike & more like a breast!!

HI Penshaw

Nobody got back to you - but did you find out anything yourself? I had an MX on the 19th July with an expander implant - will have a full recon later after rads - and am still very tender and SWOLLEN! As you said - when will this implant feel less like a brick? I’d love to know how long yours took to settle down?

And have you started back at the gym yet? I’m doing the post op exercises but meanwhile my legs are turning to jelly.

I do, did , a lot of dancing which I can’t imagine doing at the moment, but I’d like to know when I can think about getting back to it.
