How long after surgery can you start going to the gym? I've been taking walks around the block but that's pretty much it...

I was cleared at 6 weeks. For the first six weeks I was told to walk.

I went to the gym on my 8th day and only used the treadmill. Now I'm almost 3 weeks and my doc said I could use the bike and no more then 10lbs in weights

Pretty much the same as the other posts. I was on weight lifting restrictions for the first six weeks but was able to get in and get on the hamster wheel (Treadmill). By weeek 6 I was ready to start running and lifting. That 6 week check up appoointment couldn't come fast enough.

Awesome new pic!!!

I can use light hand weights and, of course, walk. I am looking forward to getting back to Pilates classes after the six week mark, although it is going to be rough to start again with loose abs.

Thank you for all your responses!! This could be a little overwhelming sometimes, makes you just want to start running lol happy Sunday everyone!!
