What is the consensus about working out/lifting weights post-op? My doc said after 10 days 'light' workouts. I wanted to get a general idea of what you guys thought?

The way my scar felt at that point, I would say that light cardio (walking, cycling) would only be acceptable at that point. I did absolutely nothing for a full week after the procedure and I'm 20 years old. I just made it a point to work out very hard for about 5 weeks leading up to the procedure, so that a rest period would be benificial.

Give yourself a month or more before you go back to extremely heavy weights.

I lifted at about 2 and a half weeks post-op, but only light and only certain exercises that would not stretch or strain my head/neck.

Just be cautious and smart and you'll be fine.

As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun shall shine
And the grass will grow
Let me listen, I will learn to speak
The old language
Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies
And fall apart from the world of machines
Regain my feet and my pounding heart
