weight lifting

When is it ok to start lifting weights?

I was given the ok by my doctor a month after surgery.

You might feel fine before that but I would give it at least a month.

Same here, it was just about a month. Original paperwork said not to lift over 20lbs for the 1st 6 weeks, but at my follow up my surgeon said I was healed enough at that point that I shouldn't have to worry about it.

Ok thanks. I am only three weeks postop so I will wait another week two. Trying not to get the excess skin.
