Exercise after getting sleeved

[astern2 0]

How long after getting sleeved can I expect to get back to running? I'm not a die hard runner, more like a shuffler, but I'd like to keep up with it. If I get out of the habit I have a hard time getting back with it.

You should follow the advice of your doctor - different doctors have different rules and everyone's recovery is different.

With that said, I was cleared for walking outside (not on a treadmill) immediately after surgery and was up to a mile about a week later. I was cleared for treadmill and elliptical at 4 weeks. At my 8 week appointment I had no restrictions on exercise.

Listen to what your doc says.

Around 6-8 weeks my doc said I can start training for the Olympics! Haha

I was told month and a half after surgery, believe me I am with you. I love to run and do half marathons. I haven't been running now in a while and not at the gym for over a month... dying to get back to my normal routine.
