I go in Tuesday for surgery and always have been very active for my weight which surprises my surgeon and my pcp and I am a quick healer as well. I am registered for a hip hop class this year at my daughters dance school (finally brave enough) and I am hearing roughly 2-3 weeks before cardio which is all the dance class really is. Anyway class starts Wednesday I know their is no way the day after surgery I well be up for dancing and so does the teacher. I told her two to three weeks after surgery and she's okay with that. I am going to ask the surgeon at the hospital q&a the morning of surgery but want to get a feel from other patients. When did you start your cardio?

I was in a lot of pain after surgery. Walking on a treadmill was very hard. I took it slow, but I had a hard time. You may b one of the lucky ones up and walking right after. Best Wishes! I have no regrets!!

Yeah my surgeon requires all patients to be up and attempting to walk two hours after surgery and fully up and walking after four hours. Then for ten mins every hour you are awake you lap the floor and the nurses are on you about getting up. He is strict and that's one of the reasons I wanted him for my surgery. Another reason ifs he holds you accountable and I need that kind of person pushing me, testing my buttons and boundaries.
