Quick question. I am 12 weeks post robotic surgery. How long until the soreness in the abs should I expect at normal?

Everyone is different, but for me it took almost 12 months before I felt perfectly normal again as far as abdominal muscles. I wouldn't necessarily call it pain after 3 months, but it just didn't feel right. When I rode my bicycle and would hit bumps, it almost felt "hollow". This too shall pass wink

Similar to Reltnie. The pain or soreness was gone after a few months, but I remember at my 9 month follow up asking my Surgeoon about stiffness in my abs when I stretched them, he told me it would dissipate over time and to massage the area that is sore, as it is probably scar tissue and massaging it would break the scar tissue apart or loosen it up or something like that.

Thanks Reltnie. I am also a bike rider. Used to average around 150 miles per week. 12 weeks after surgery only riding about 50. Looking for a new bike saddle that might be a little more comfortable.

Here is the bike saddle I found. My surgeon is a big biker and ordered one for himself. The inventor told me he has had many prostate patients who love it. I like it so much that I continue to use it even though it has been 4+ years since surgery. They have a money back guarantee if you don't like it. (I have no monetary stake in this product.)
