When did you get the okay to work out (besides walking)? I want to go back to yoga and possible go biking.

I started at 4 weeks, but technically 6 weeks is the standard. Biking should be fine as should yoga at about a month as long as you aren't twisting quickly or making sharp movements.

Six weeks for me

I started at like.... 2 1/2-3 weeks, but I was just fast walking on the treadmill (25 minutes wore me out). I started more into it during week 3. Then learned my surgeon's was 4-6 weeks, but mostly just to make sure incisions were healed. Mine healed FAST, they were all healed up by 2-2 1/2 weeks, so I was fine.

The best bet is to check with your doctor.

I'm clear to workout at 4 weeks. Everything but exercises that engage the core too much.

Ah. My surgeon didn't use glue, they were just regular ole stitches. And they were out a week after surgery (in fact mine were healing so quickly they had a tough time taking them out).

For me it was 6 weeks and then to work my way into abs/core exercises gently.

My surgeon told me to start working out after one week.

I was cleared to work out (any exercise) at 4 weeks.
