How long after PS did you wait to start weight training?
My written instructions for lifting restriction is 2 weeks because of my breast surgery and 4 weeks because of abdominoplasty.
I am taking it easy because I have a tendancy to go full force. I want to heal properly so I will wait at least the recommended time..that seems pretty short to me, my ob/gyn didnt even want me driving for 6 weeks and lifting for 12 weeks after I had abdominal surgery on an ovarian cyst.
I was more curious, how long before you resumed weight training or exercise. Did your body feel ok once you started or did you feel more weak?
How long before you resumed driving, also? I was told 1 week at least and need to be off the narcotics.

Good questions. I'm only a week out and am still on painkillers, tried to go more the Tylennol direction but was not ready. But I was curious about the weight training as well.

Breast lift- Spring 2013
I had a ubilical hernia repair with TT and a week later thighs and lower back/butt done. At seven/eight weeks out, my PS told me I can start doing my arm weights, but wait for any strength training in the lower body until January so my scars don't stretch. I've been allowed to walk on flats, and he just now (7 weeks) is letting me back on my elliptical, again at lower levels, no hills until January. I had my surgeries in late September.
