Depends on what you mean by work out. You can walk right away but running or spinning, or more strenuous activity usually takes a while....like around six weeks or so. I swim and had to wait for the incisions to completely heal so as not to wind up with infections.

Yep, ditto what Gowalking said.

I second that! Try to walk a little bit every day and listen to your body. If you feel good, try doing a little more. Stop when you get tired. Your body is healing, just be conscientious and listen to what your body tells you it is ready (or not ready!) for.
