Well, tomorrow's the day I've been dreading for the last 8 weeks...
Sure, it's "only" a 20 minute procedure, but I can think of many things I'd rather be subjected to for 20 hours, rather than the 20 minute procedure I've got to look forward to tomorrow.
Anyway, I was reading over some of the post-op info and they say to avoid weight training for 7 - 14 days. I was curious if any of you have had this procedure done and how long you stayed out of the weight room prior to returning.
I realize the importance of avoiding heavy lifting after surgery, but I'm curious exactly how long most people were out of the gym. Would I be better off to avoid the gym for a full 14 days? I'd certainly prefer not to, but I'd rather avoid it for a month if it meant zero complications, so any advice or stories would be greatly appreciated!
