Senior Member Big1 Posted October 27, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2004 Its been about 2 months since my surgery. This was not my 1st, it was my 4th and I am prone to scarring as it is. My elasticity has only diminished after each passing surgery. I had a very wide scar after my third surgery. At 2 months post-op (from surgery number 4) the scar is much, much better than scar number 3; however, I don't want to mess that up. Do you think 2 months is too soon to work out?

Senior Member HairBeThere Posted October 27, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2004 Big1, From your history. I can only speculate on this. I wouldn't do anything. Not until the beloved 3 month mark! Most would say you are fine, but you have had complications. I would definetely take more than the average time off. The best option would be to ask your doctor what his opinion on your situation is. I would trust he has probably heard of your situation before. This might be the best way to be safer than sorry.

Senior Member Robert_ Posted October 27, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2004 Big 1, I sympathize with you, man. I am not a bodybuilder or anything like that but if I do not work out for even a couple of days then I feel it bad. From what you say about being susceptible to scar-stretching, though, I would definitely give it some more time. I know that its a hard wait, but it'll be worth it. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Smoothy Posted October 27, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2004 To be safe-- considering your history, I wouldnt do any heavy workouts for 3 months. However, I would think doing light/high reps workouts to keep the blood in your muslces should be OK. (you will not build strength but want loose mass) As long as you do light weights at a slow pace-- the key is not to strain or hold your breath-- breath in and out helps keep tension/blood rush to your head. Do this for the first 3-4 months you should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted October 28, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2004 Thanks for noticing, HW. If there is one thing that balding is good for, it's giving you motivation to get in the gym! -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
