I was 72 at the time of surgery, and in the gym 4 or 5 times a week so I was in pretty good shape. After surgery it took around three months or so to start going on daily walks. I did not try to overdue any activities and listened to my body. It was shortly after five months they found that I had colon cancer, so the last three years has limited what I can do, although I do work out at the house with a few dumbbells and bands. If it had not been for the cancer I would have been back in the gym with no restrictions.
