Get well soon big fella
and I was told no heavy weight lifting for 4 weeks, then slowly get back into it over the next two weeks. He said I could do some cardio stuff after two weeks but no strength training whatsoever.
I would be curious what "full activity" means to your doctor. I can't imagine Solomon will be allowed back into the weight room for full strength condition for at least 4 weeks. I could see light contact and cardio work after 2 weeks but not full activity.
??? That seems like a bit of an overestimate. I got my appendix taken out in high school and the next day I was 100% fine except for some stomach pain if I flexed a certain way. And the pain was probably gone in about a week or two.

Opens are reserved for when there are other associated problems (abscess, perforation, retrocecal position, etc.) and take much longer to heal. Drains may have to left in for days. Think weeks if all goes well. Laproscopic is reserved for non-complicated appendectomies and likely would cause a normal person 1-2 weeks to recover fully. Football shape maybe longer. These estimates are if there are no subsequent complications. Fortunately CT and US permit earlier and more accurate diagnosis and laps are most common.
You're point re: "football shape" is key here when we're talking recovery. While a laproscopic procedure is definitely less invasive, its important to keep in mind that it still involves 2 or 3 incisions, and these incisions are made in your core muscles. No matter your sport, the core is vitally important as it connects to and affects numerous other muscles. And yes, even 300 lb DTs with a little cushion in the mid section have strong core muscles.

glad it didnt rupture, thats when things get dicey. Get well soon big guy!
Me three, about 15 years ago. Felt like a pair of red-hot pliers were gripping my side, and every once in a while, somebody would give them a twist. Until that point, I always thought the concept of "passing out from the pain" was an old wives tale. Not after that.
And then five days in the hospital to fight the spread of infection. That was almost as bad.

I've had both. I'll take the kidney stone any day - although neither one is a walk in the park.
Charles agrees.....
All weight loss is good weight loss.
All weight gain is good weight gain.
Stay with us.
DId he tackle someone so hard that he ruptured it?
Good reason to cancel the Spring Game???

My friend had his out. We snuck a 6 pack of beer (stolen from one of our parents' fridges) and Playboy magazine (stolen from one of our parents).
It was 1978 and seemed like a good idea to bring him gifts.
You're not allowed to make those jokes.

Four...my problem is it didn't hurt enough so no one thought appendix. Fortunately stayed local when it burst...worth a night on the table and a week in the hospital which a morphine drip made very tolerable,
