Biking after Hysterectomy

[limewave]

Hi Stacy,
I have not had a hysterectomy, although I was supposed to. Turned out once they got in there that only half of everything had to come out. That was 3 years ago.

I would say it was about 7 weeks for me too before I felt like doing much. But, I was weaker than I thought. It really takes time to recover from this. Pace yourself and take baby steps--ease back into your normal routine. I do think I started doing some very leisurely riding at about 8 weeks. And not on a road bike, I needed to sit up a little more.

My doctor told me 3 months to recover--but, I hear and believe it to be true, it takes a full year to gain back your endurance. I tried to go back to work after 2 months, my body was not ready for full-time work yet. I really wish I had waited.

Anyway, good luck on your surgery. I hope it goes well.
