Appendix -Here now gone!


Recommended Posts

After having stomach pain for 24hrs I am now short an appendix!

 

Has anyone had this operation? How long before you were back in the saddle and beating mountain paths?

 

Doc says do what i want, pain is the stopping point. This does not help 10km from the start of a trail.

Any input is welcome.

1 week max, but I was 19 then so bounced back quick.

 

Depends how much stomach muscle you have - the more you have for them to slice through the harder to heal up

I would give it 10 days off the bike - you wouldn't want to stress the wound too much - or heaven forbid - take a fall and get a bar end in the area....

Mine burst 4 weeks ago.

I got opened up properly as mine burst.

My surgeon has said 6 weeks off.

Right now, I feel 100% and have done so for a week already.

Losing my mind. But don't feel like that pain again. So I'll just comply.

I luckily caught mine before it popped! They said another 12 hours and it would have been a different story.

Off to Champagne castle on Friday and really want to ride!

Bike will go with anyway just in case I can get a few short rides in.

I struggled after mine. Took me three weeks to recover properly, but was stupid and went back to work after 3 days.

Was supposed to be booked off for a week.

I think the key is rest and let the body heal. Even laproscopicly there is a lot of cutting going on under the skin.

I would wait a minimum of 10 days, but give it 14 days to be safe.
