I have to lift 50lb everyday after 6 weeks
Sisters,
I have to lift 50 lbs each day at least 6 times at my job. Did anyone else have to do this and if so how did it go? I am a little worried about just jumping back into it all but my Dr assures me that I should be able to without problems. I had a vaginal hysterectomy so no outside incision but I am still concerned.

I had a TAH with a 9" vertical incision, so I can't be of much help, but I myself would be afraid to do that. I have horses and have to lift 50lb sacks of feed, but have people doing it for me now. The doctor told me to just eases back into after 6 weeks. I'd just listen to my body, it will probably tell you if you over did. Good luck.

I had daVinci and can lift a 30 pound baby with no pain or probs whatsoever and my dr said that was fine. the key is to hold the weight as close to your body as possible and lift with your legs. This is what I do.
