6 weeks.

My Dr said that I could head to the gym as soon as I felt like it and to start with things like the treadmill, stair climber, eliptical, etc. He told me to judge what I can do just like a child would do.... meaning if it hurts, then don't do it.

I was cleared to do anything I could tolerate when discharged from the hospital. My doctor encouraged me to "get with it". And... I did. No problems what so ever.

I got the okay to do just about anything at my 2 week post-op appointment.

I was told NO lifting or housework for 2 weeks, only walking and nothing over 25 lbs for 6 weeks, the once out of the main danger zone... Whatever I could tolerate.

Mine said I could get in the pool at 2-3 weeks as long as my incisions were healed. Then, I could start doing weights & such at the gym at 4-6 weeks depending on how I feel. I'll be at 2 weeks post-op on Monday & am planning on going to the gym to walk, but not do other things yet.
