I had a Hysterectomy in December 2006&need to get some strength back, but without doing any damage, so I thought swimming would be a good idea, but everyone I try to get advice from tell me to see my doctor!

After three to four weeks* Exercise such as swimming is beneficial.* Avoid standing for long periods.* Avoid lifting anything heavy.Go swimming, it is great exercise and its not a hard workout like running or whatever..
