abdominal surgery

i am looking for a masters swimmer who trains hard and competes who is either a surgeon or someone who has had abdominal surgery with whom i can discuss my recovery. pls post here. thanks for your help When I had a a bilateral double herniia operation, the surgeon said that I could resume vigorous worjksouts in 7 days. "Swimming?" 7 days "Biking?" 7 days "Lifting weights?" 7 days "Playing piano" "Did you play piano before teh operation?" (Damn. Caught me.) Thing is, he MEANT 5 months. My boss, the anesthesiologist, says it is more common than not for a surgeon to underestimate recovery time. Doubling their estimate is usually still way too soon. The 5 months is really a bit of an exageration - that was full recovery. I really could do most of the "7 day" things witjhin two months (although not one).
