Exercise after Rhino

Hey girlies, im having open septo rhino tomorrow (EEK!), and im just wondering about how long it is till i can exercise. I know Mr G (God) says 6 weeks but that feels like apsolute ages especially as i usuallly go to the gym every day! i went on loads of websites and they recommend 3 weeks. i wont go for long marathon runs lol but im just thinking that the bicycle cant surely damage the nose or cause a nose bleed after 3 weeks! Anyone exercised before the 6 weeks? xx

Double check with Dr G, I had a nose bleed the first day on the tread mill,and I was 12 weeks post op,first and last nose bleed just be careful honey,and the best of luck for tomorrow,not that you will need it,he is the Master,the best.xxx

I’m in the exact same boat, I’m 10 days post op (open septo rhino with God himself) and was convinced before the surgery I’d be OK to return to the gym in 3 weeks.

It’s not worth the risk at all. Dr G is adamant; 6 weeks for normal exercise. I’m guessing this includes the cross trainer/running/weights…

I will go back to the gym at 4 weeks but only to walk on the tread mill and cycle at effort level 3 lol I could walk in the park but I know I’ll feel safer in the gym, away from the elements.

Hope your surgery went well!!

Welcome to the sisterhood of dried throats and upright sleeping. x x x

Thanks guys! And they did not warn me about the feeling or sand paper in the back of my throat! The dried mouth is bordering unbearable! This is surely going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life. This nose better be worth it!!xxx
