I also had colon surgery to remove a tumor and here 8 months later I find that I have that beer belly going on and a right sided bump. Have you done anything other than swimming, I would love to hear about it because I need to get rid of this. Im happy to hear you are doing so well.

Hi @chicagolinda, welcome to Connect. I believe that you were directing your question about exercise after colon surgery was directed at @travelgirl. I've tagged her on this message to make sure she sees your question.

Have you talked to your surgeon about your concerns of the extended stomach? Swimming or aquatic exercises are a gentle way to get back into physical activity. Do you like getting into a pool? Or are you looking for different options?
