When is "serious" exercise permitted?

How long do I need to wait postop to start seriously exercising/ I can't remember. Is it 6 weeks? I got the okay to walk immediately afterward but now i want to kick it up!

    Hi Sara,

    My doctor said to do whatever I could tolerate as soon as I could tolerate it. There was no specific time frame. However, every surgeon is a little different and yours may have a more specific guideline. I started with walking the day I came home. Running wasn't comfortable for a couple weeks. Good luck in your journey!

    I do competitive Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. I was told between 4-6wks I should be able to go back to full time live training w/ minimal discomfort. SUPER HAPPY!
