      Walking right away (night of surgery). Was told light to moderate exercise at 2-6 weeks post-op. Released to do whatever I wanted after 6 weeks. I probably jumped the gun a little and did somewhat

    My Dr. advised 2 weeks. But it will take a whole month to heal

    Depends on the excercise. You can walk/jog/elliptical immediately. Anything that strains your core I'd wait 4 weeks

    Walk for the first month and then you could start anything I wanted to.

    My current exercise plan:

    • Kickboxing- Monday night
    • Treadmill/ bike/ weight lifting- Tuesday night
    • Water aerobics- Thursday night
    • treadmill/bike/ weight lifting- Saturday morning.

    I tried Zumba... just not ready for that yet!

    Walking right away (night of surgery). Was told light to moderate exercise at 2-6 weeks post-op. Released to do whatever I wanted after 6 weeks. I probably jumped the gun a little and did somewhat rigorous exercise and lifting around 4 weeks when I should've been scaling it back a notch or two. I was probably pretty lucky and with that said, you should stick with the plan that your Dr gave you. Shame on me! I wish you the best "tina"!
