serenity1959 67 Posted June 4, 2013 Better ask your doctor. If you have to pick up small children, I would say four to six weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrubabilen 41 Posted June 4, 2013 My doc said at least 4 weeks before I could pick up my own 1 yr old daughter who barely weighs 20lbs. You don't want to risk a hernia and then have to have more pain and more surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
