I want to use the cross trainer / elliptical machine

How long post surgery pls?

Normally you are good to exercise ( but not extensive) after 5-6 weeks, but after surgery you should still be walking around some to avoid blood clots.

They normally say to exercise after doctor approval, and your first follow up is normally 5-6 weeks after the surgery

My Doc said walking after surgery until 4 weeks post op and then bump it up. No running or jumping till around 6 weeks post-op

Ask your Dr...I was set free 1 week after suegry to do whatever...just had to go easy on lifting...but running and everything else was fine..., back in the gym on a regular basis...

But i did get the ok from my Dr.first....

I was told right away by my doctor, but was skeptical and choose to wait several weeks and then took it slow at first.

I'd like to start Crossfit again as soon as possible. Its pretty brutal though - so I'm guessing it will be at LEAST 6 weeks post-op before I can return to CF class?

I would confirm with your surgeon because like everything else each dr is different. I was old walking only till 6 weeks post op.
