I was cleared to do anything I wanted after 3 weeks post op. My surgeon said if it did not hurt I could do it.. You can always walk, that helps with keeping everything flexible and all your parts moving. It also helps with the gas too. Once you are cleared you will be fine to going back what you were doing as long as it does not cause any pain. I would discuss all the exercises you do with your doctor and get his clearance first before I did anything. Good luck :)

You will need to give your body a chance to heal. The last thing you want to do is pull out internal stitches because you began working out too fast.

I was very specific when I spoke to my doctor and asked him when can I play soccer again. I was told 8 weeks and at exactly 8 weeks I played indoor soccer. Let me tell you it was very very tough. Mainly because I could not seem to drink enough Water to feel hydrated. I found that I needed to suck on ice cubes in order to get the cotton mouth to be tolerable.
