Swimming after abdominal surgery

I've just gotten back in the pool after 10 weeks of recovering from abdominal surgery (hysterectomy, to be precise). Right now, my stomach feels number after I swim (free, back, ***, no fly). I was wondering if anyone who's been there can offer some thoughts on their experience and any guidance. I have no idea what the "new normal" is - other than it feels heavenly to be back in the water. Thanks!

  • I've swam after 3 abdominal surgeries. The best advice I can give you is to take it slow and be patient with your body! It takes a while for everythiing to get back to normal and to get your strength back. Swimming is definitely the best exercise for you to be doing!
