i'm glad you want to jump back into exercise and stay fit but you really should not exercise post-operatively until your doctor tells you it's ok to do so. you're right to be concerned under the circumstances. it generally takes about 6 weeks for scar tissue to equal the strength of sutures. at just 4 weeks post-op it's definitely possible to pop a suture inside your abdomen if you exercise too vigorously. in particular you should not be doing any abdominal exercises until your doctor gives you the go-ahead. strength training of any kind probably isn't the best idea right now. i suggest you call your doctor to find out what your exercise restrictions are if any. since your doctor knows exactly how extensive the procedure was in terms of internal tissue suturing he or she is in the best position to advise you about exercising. best wishes to you! i hope you can get back to the gym soon.
i'm 4 weeks out from my partial hysterectomy via lavh and i did a strength training class today. . tried to take it easier; i was athletic prior to the procedure. i'm just a little freaked out that i screwed up hurt myself on the inside.
