Had my appendix taken out yesterday and feel like I was hit by a truck, absolutely miserable. For those who have had the surgery, how long until you were running/working out again? The doc said I could likely be running in a week and to wait about 6 weeks for any strength training, but I'd like to hear some real world examples.

Was it laproscopic or did they filet you? Big difference in recovery.

Mine was laproscopic and it took a few weeks for my abs to feel normal again but I want working out then.

What type of symptoms? How old are you? How long was surgery. Like asked above, what type of incisions were made. Did you receive any type of local anesthetic infiltration. Any family history of anesthetic reactions? Everyone reacts differently to anesthesia and surgery.
