I am getting the "mommy makeover" - breast lift with implants, abdominalplasty including muscle repair on Jan 12/ 2016. I am wondering if I will be well enough to go on a 5 night 6 day hike through the West Coast Trail by August 2016. My concern is that I will be carrying a very heavy packback with all my gear and I'm not sure that it will be safe or if I will still be tender/ painful. I'd love to do it! But I am also ok with waiting until the next year if that makes more sense for my recovery.
