Rowing after breast reduction surgery

[fancyoats]

I introduced myself over on the BPP plan in the training forum a little over a month ago - I used to be on the crew team in high school and then had like 20 sedentary years and recently a couple months ago bought myself an erg and have been working through the BPP - currently about to finish out week 8. Really feeling good about the progress I’ve made, and worried about losing momentum.

I’m going in for a consult with the surgeon on Monday, hoping to get my 36Ms reduced to a more proportional size. I’m wondering if anyone here has had experience post surgery - how long did it take you to get back in shape? How long after surgery were you able to resume? What was your experience like?
