I'm not post-surgery yet, but I am anxious to know how long after your surgery your surgeons wanted you to wait before working out. I am a little less than three weeks from surgery and I've got a really great work-out routine going right now. I'm just wondering how long it will take me to be back to normal as far as exercising goes.

Thanks for your input

I was given the ok for cardio when I went for my post op check up at 9 days post op and told to wait like 2 or 3 more weeks to start with the weight machines. Every doc is different though

Talk to your doctor, everyone is different....... They definately want you walking right away

No kidding! My surgery is tomorrow and my post op instructions include walking up to 2 miles a day from day1!

I was told to start exercising when I had my two week checkup, I haven't begun yet, but today i bought a recumbant exercise bike and I am pumped and ready to go. KME
