When Can I Exercise After An Open Cholecystectomy?
How long before I can exercise after an open cholecystectomy? I had my surgery last June 5, 2010. I am now trying to jog but can I already lift weights or what kind of exercise can I do since I do not want to gain weight since I lost weight after the surgery.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
We recommend rest for 3 weeks and then low intensity sport can be started for next 2 weeks. after 4.-5 weeks you can do all exercises as before unless there are comlications.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
