How soon after surgery is it safe to vacuum?

Tell your husband the Dr said 9 months so he better get started on it plus cook dinner do the laundry and get the kids to school

I surely wouldn't recommend it for at least a year:)

HILARIOUS!!!

I don't know about anyone else but I was back to almost normal activity by week 2. I went back to work 4 days afterwards and did fine, just a bit more tired.

Everyone is different,and it also depends on how physical your job is.i took two Weeks, I am a bookkeeper/ cashier, my first week back kicked my butt

Not sleeved yet but when I had my gallbladder surgery I vacuumed slowly at two weeks out, leaning on the washer to pull out wet clothes or kitchen sink while doing dishes took a little longer before it didn't hurt. Don't try to do yard work that early though...I set myself back for weeks after that!

I vacuumed today at almost 4 weeks and started hurting after a few mins. I'm going with don't try again for another year theory : )

Man I must've been lucky then, I was back to nursing at one week out and no pain.
