I had to have my appendix removed back in Sept 09. I was 9 weeks prego at the time. Assuming the remove it before it ruptures the recoop time really isn't bad at all. This may be TMI but I went in Friday evening, the surgery was about 1am, and I was out and having sex (carefully) by Monday evening. While I do tend to recoop pretty easily from things, possibly because I have been through a few lol, it's not really as bad as you are led to believe. I was hooping with in 2 weeks of the surgery and back to normal at about 3-4 weeks. At almost exactly 4 weeks post surgery I spent the weekend at a Hoop Path retreat and did just fine. Good luck I hope all goes well for you!!

Never too much TMI..haha! This is SO relieving to hear. I was worried it would take a lot longer and then some again to get back into hooping shape. Nothing's ruptured yet so hopefully it will be a quick and uneventful recovery!

Thank you for sharing Willow :)

I just had suregery on my abdomen Jan 12th... Of course my brand new LED hoop showed up ont he 18th and I couldnt do a thing. It was 2 weeks before I picked up my hoop again, and I could only do off body stuff because the movement of my torso was siff and swollen. At 3-4 weeks  I could waist hoop again but it still was tender over the incsions so I used my hand flat over my belly to pass over that part. Depending on how much you rest, how helathy you are etc, you should be back to hooping in 3-4 weeks. I reccommend resting the first 2 weeks completley so you can get back into it sooner. I started trying a little to soon (even just with isolations) and was sore from it.

 

Tip: Zinc is not only good for an immune boost, but it helps tissue regernation... So it actually helps you heal from surgery more quickly. Take care of yourself! <3

I'll remember the zinc and to take it easy for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the well wishes and advice! <3

Looks to be surgery tomorrow unless I'm miraculously totally healed on my ultrasound in the morning.

I got my appendix out on the 16th of October. It was about a week before a returned to school and 3 until i felt as though i could hoop and do physical activity. i would recommend that after the first week you just work on off the body or knee hooping. though it can be boring sometimes it is better than having an injured body :)
