Donating Blood
when i was about 6 or 8 months out my doctor told me its. ok. you are so recent that i would wait until your surgeon says its ok. not a good time to lose fluid and you don't want to be eating the cookies and sweets they usually give you afterwards . Diane

I did it. Nothing bad happened that I know of. I did end up in the ER the next day but I was passing a kidney stone so I don't think it's remotely related.
I haven't done it since because I am always getting ready for a race and don't want to take the hit to performance.
Since I'm not really working out right now due to injury, maybe it's a good time to sign up!

I started donating again when I was a little over a year out from surgery. Donated at least 3 times in the past year and have had no problems..just make sure you eat something before going and stay hydrated. It only took 7 minutes when I donated a few weeks ago, much faster then before surgery!
