How long did those of you who had surgery wait until you started lifting again.  More specifically how long did you wait until you started bench pressing again?

sdguy....

3 weeks. Started out light and worked my way back up to my usual weight. Listen to your body. If you hurt, stop and give it another week or so.

Actually, the best thing to do is to ask your Doc when you can start lifting and adhere to it. Your Doc knows what is best for 'you'.  ;)
