When did u heal 100%

[lexysdad04 43]

Ok so I'm trying to figure out how long I'll be out of work after the surgery, I work construction (sewer rehab) and I'm constantly lifting in the 50lbs + range I'm also constantly stretching pushing crawling squatting bending sprinting and lifting my self out or into holes and ditches and pretty much it's a full day at a gym 8-12 hrs a day

So with that being said when did you heal 100% to be able to do all of this as my job doesn't offer light duty, the closest to light duty would be driving a semi truck to the job site but then I'd still have to climb in and out of it and strap the load so now that I think about it that would not work unless someone else straps the load for me

When did you start doing a full work out with weights for those that have office jobs

I'm just trying to see how long I'll be off I know everyone is different but I'm trying to see the average

I would say 6 weeks. I am at 5 weeks now, and every time I try to over due it, I am reminded that I am not quite healed yet.

My dr. didn't release me to do weights until 6 weeks either.

6 weeks for me too. And he told me to go easy on the abs for a while longer.

I would definitely give yourself a full 6 weeks. You don't want to rupture a staple line.

Thanks I'm going to plan for 6 weeks off for sure then, last thing I want is to hurt my self
