When Can I Start Lifting Weights And Working Out?

I am 3 weeks and 4 days post surgery. I really wanna start working out again.

My doc wanted me to wait six weeks before I could lift any weights, even the tiny 2 pounders I started with.

My doctor cleared me to start lifting/training as comfortable at my 4 week post op. He said you can lift a VW bug, if it doesn't hurt. If something hurts, wait a week and try again. I was cleared for cardo at my 10 day post op.

I just saw mine last week and he told me I can start with light weights now, just nothing that uses the abdominal muscles. However, each surgeon is different I'd suggest you put a call into his office to check.
