Has anybody else had their appendix removed? How long did it take to completely get back to normal? How long before you could do abs?

But I'd definitely ask your doc about what (s)he recommends. Just make sure your cut heals completely and that you feel no pain before doings abs. Get well soon!

I think roughly two weeks before i could really get into any athletic activity. Ask your doctor thought if you had just gotten it removed.:) -------------- Get your weight up, kid

Hurrah! allowed to do cardio :big_smile: :love: thanks for advice guys
