How long away from gym post-surgery?
I started going back to the gym on week 3, just cardio, no weights. I started just walking for about 20 minutes, and then added every couple of days. But I started walking at home the first day I was home. I walked around the inside of my house, up the stairs, then walked around the outside, then around the yard (I have two acres), then down the street and back. I started doing weights about 8 weeks out, but I had a hiatal hernia repaired also. I guess it all depends on how you feel. If it hurts, stop.
