Technically you're 90% healed within 6 weeks, so if you're six weeks out, then yes, you can run and play ball. I started running at 3-4 weeks and the first few times I felt a little pulling of my stitches so I slowed down. If nothing hurts, then you're fine, just take it slowly a bit at first so you don't overdo it.

If you're 2-3 weeks out, probably chill on the basketball for a week or two more. You might feel fine, but your sutures are still healing and they could probably do without the jumping and twisting of the core that basketball causes.

Nope those days are over post sleeve...

Just kidding,

Just give yourself time to heal and then build back up slowly...your game will be better than ever. Can't wait to hear your NSV stories.

Round-ball ????

It's all good bro, it's all good.

My doctor cleared me for all physical activity without restriction at 1 month post-op with the warning to pay attention to my body.

I was out playing with the kiddos about 1 month post out, but I would say it is definitely based on how you feel
