Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted August 6, 2017 The incisional wounds on the outside are closed and Ok about 3 weeks after surgery - at that point I was cleared to swim or take a hot bath rather than shower. Internally, you are looking at 6 weeks to 3 months to heal completely. Generally, you are limited to lifting 10 pounds for 3-4 weeks after surgery. Similarly, your body is going through a major shock, recovering from anesthesia and will take roughly 3 months to start to come back to your new normal.

sc09 95 Posted August 6, 2017 I started feeling normal again about a month ago. I'm almost 4 months post op. Only issue I have now is sleeping. When I lay on either of my sides it starts to hurt and I wake up and flip flop all night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
