How long after surgery can you start going to the gym? I've been taking walks around the block but that's pretty much it...

I was cleared at 6 weeks. For the first six weeks I was told to walk.

I went to the gym on my 8th day and only used the treadmill. Now I'm almost 3 weeks and my doc said I could use the bike and no more then 10lbs in weights

Pretty much the same as the other posts. I was on weight lifting restrictions for the first six weeks but was able to get in and get on the hamster wheel (Treadmill). By weeek 6 I was ready to start running and lifting. That 6 week check up appoointment couldn't come fast enough.

I can use light hand weights and, of course, walk. I am looking forward to getting back to Pilates classes after the six week mark, although it is going to be rough to start again with loose abs.
