As long as there are no complications in your recovery you should be fine. Follow the instructions given to you by your surgeon!

Jennifer Boll, MD · Answer

You should be doing very well by nine weeks and able to participate in all activities. Even with minor complications, you should be all healed by 9 weeks. It would take something catastrophic to limit you that far out and that is very rare.
