What kind of excercise is safe after bladder repair surgery?

I had surgery a week ago.  I want to know if walking is OK and how soon I can do something like the treadmill.

Your surgeon should normally give instructions as to when you can begin certain activities & which ones to avoid for a period of time after surgery. Often they’ll give you a handout of instructions for both before surgery (meds to stop taking, etc.) & afterward. These often include normal side effects to be aware of (for example, maybe seeing some blood in the urine) & also when you can resume normal activities. I would contact either the Hospital or the Dr directly & ask for advice on this. Also, remember that each patient’s condition may be different, so the Dr is the best resource. You can look online for advice, but I think ultimately your medical team should make the call on this...
