Hi pal,
Im just going off what my surgeon said:
Vest: 4 weeks 24/7 then 3 weeks just nights, Im also going to wear my underamour vests when i train for the next 6 months keep everything supported while im healing.
Gym: 4 to 6 weeks depending on how you feel.
Im nearly 3 weeks post op but im going back to gym 2morrow i cant handle any more time off feel like shit n out of shape, only doing the BIKE though. Not going to bother with running(bouncing) or weights till after xmas.
If your 5 weeks post op go n do some light cardio n keep your vest on for support, then when you feel ready start with light weights n work your way up from there.
Listen to your body, if it doesnt feel comfortable dont do it.
Hope this helps
