I am supposed to be snow skiing in 17 days. I had the appendectomy 2 days ago using the laproscopic method and so far i am healing fine. Pain is very low right now and eating and moving around decently now. I have an appointment in a week and will definatly ask, but just trying to get a heads up on this.
oh, and my incisions are glued together. No stitches in me.

    The best thing to do is to ask your MD. The average COMPLETE healing time for anything is around 4-6 wks depending on the severity. If you have stiches you don’t want to open them back up. If you do go, just be careful! :) r0xyg4l
