Re: exercised yesterday for first time had TLH 4/11. Now pink discharge, I'm worried
I had a DaVinci hyst on 4/4. I worked out a lot and lifted weighs. I started about 2 weeks after surgery walking and it was too much too soon. I had a lot of bleeding. I rested for a few days and tried again, walking. It was OK. This past Monday is the first time that I really broke a sweat at the gym since my surgery. I used the eliptical for about an hour with no bleeding afterwards. Last night I used the elliptical, bike and stair master. I had a good workout and felt great. I had a follow up today and the dr. said that everything looks great and I can start to lift weights and return to my regular classes in 2 more weeks. My stomach swells a little after I exercise, but I have not had any bleeding for about a week now. Good luck, it is wonderful to work out again. Just listen to your body and if it hurts - stop.

Re: exercised yesterday for first time had TLH 4/11. Now pink discharge, I'm worried
Wow, that is so awesome! Good for you! I am in the same boat as you, I lifted weights just about every day and took lots of RPM (spinning) classes a week as well as riding outside with a team of cyclists for crazy 50 mile practice rides weekly. Dr. says I can't ride yet so I'll see what he says when I go for my check up 5/18. It's KILLING me that I can't get on my bike yet!
did your Dr give you a weight limit? because mine says no more than 20 lbs for now. And also, after my workout on Tuesday, by that night my stomach swelled out a little bit as well, why does it do that? It was flat again when I woke the next morning but I hope that doesn't last for long, it's ugly LOL!!

The swell belly is inflammation so it would be worse if you do more. I was told not to lift more that the weight of a gallon of milk for 6 weeks (that got extended to 8 weeks).

I know it is so hard.....the doctor didn't give me a weight limit. He just doesn't want me to lift anything for two more weeks. I had a bladder sling and he wants to be sure that it is healed. My trainer is going to create a weight lifting program for me to help me build back up to where I was before. I'm happy to get a good cardio workout now. A few more weeks of that and then I will be stronger and ready to lift again. I don't know why you get a swollen belly after a work out....I think that it will slowly get better. I worked out tonight and went grocery shopping and I have little to no swelling.
