Anyone know when were allowed to start lifting weights or using bands for exercise? I know walking is allowed but how long until I can do more?

I was cleared for all regular exercise at 6 weeks, but every surgeon is different. I would recommend contacting your team and seeing what their guidelines are.

I was cleared at four weeks for most things (at the time, my "most things" was water aerobics), but I had to wait eight weeks to do weights. I don't know about bands - I didn't ask about that.
