Hi there. Hoping someone may have some experience in strength athletes recovering from laparoscopic surgery (specifically for endometriosis). My OB informed me I would only need a week off of work and that I could resume normal day to day functions afterwards.
When it comes to my powerlifting training I am a bit apprehensive to ask her specifically, due to the stigma around strength training often found in the medical field.
Has anyone assisted in athletes recovering from this surgery? I understand complications vary and each situation will be different but hoping to hear any sort of general feedback or advice.
My main concerns center around bracing and belt use (which I imagine will be fairly obsolete due to the incisions for a while).
Thanks so much in advance for your time on this matter!
