I'm 4 weeks post-op and want to know how soon I can get into MMA training...from what I understand it's a full-body workout. I don't want to mess up anything internally.

Hey! Another girl MMA person! I've been doing MMA for almost 6 years, but I really like the BJJ part the best. During that time I've gone from 130-237, with like 4-5 periods of 70-90 pounds loss and gain, so the boys at the gym are used to me being both fat and thin, lol.

Before I got the surgery I confirmed with my doctor that it would not affect by ability to participate in the sport. He cleared me for both full MMA and just BJJ at 5-6 weeks post op. Last week was my 2 week-check-up (surgery was 9/9) and he said I was good to go back to practice on October 14. He said if anything hurts, don't do it, but at that point the chance of being injured was not any greater than it had been before the surgery. I explained to him the concepts of knee on belly and that you get punched in the stomach and his reply was "well that sounds awful, but at 5-6 weeks your risk is the same as before".

From your post I get the idea you're new to the sport? If you have any questions about what to expect- message me!

Yes, I will be a newbie. Can't wait, just wasn't rue when I could start. Thank you so much:(
