Asked By:mammabear27 in 76544

I am in the Marines and just had a breast augmentation 5 days ago, I was wondering when I can start running and exercise again since it is a requirement for me to be physically fit? Also, I was wondering when will it be possible for me to be able to do pull-ups since that is a requirement for us to do pull ups in a physical fitness test we take annually?
