Recovery is very individualised. you will go home the day after surgery. you will probably go home with voltaren. You should be fine and back to normal activities within a week. I would avoid swimming until after your surgical review (usually 2 or so weeks after your surgery). This will give your wounds time to heal and reduce the risk of infection.

You should be able to return to gentle cardio work at the gym after 7-10 days (play it by ear) and weights 2-3 weeks after. But of course, discuss this with your surgeon and remember that it WILL depend on your recovery.

Do you have any other questions or fears you want to discuss?
