Every doctor is a bit different, but my doc said i can workout as soon as I feel good

Which was about 6 days post-op

I started off light, but as I felt better and better I increased my workouts

Please keep in mind I was doing an hour of cardio 7 days a week before surgery. I was back to the gym on the treadmill 0 incline on day 4. I did about 45 minutes. I think on day 11 I went back to the elliptical not terribly strenuous. Day 15 I started lap swimming, keep in mind I was swimming daily before surgery.
