I was a very active person prior to my mommy makeover (breat lift, augmentation, tummy tuck & lipo on the tummy area), I did crossfit 4-5 times wk & tae kwon do. At 5 weeks post op my doctor said I can run but that is it. I am 8 wks post op & he says I still need to wait another month before returning to crossfit or any exercise. Everything I find online says that you can work back into your regular workout routine, even crossfit at 4-6 weeks. Why would there be such a difference in opinion?

Answer: Your surgeon is most familar with you and your procedures.... It’s important to understand that no two patients are ever exactly alike.Each patient’s starting point, surgical procedure and post-operative situations are different.For this reason, post-operative care is individualized following Mommy Makeover surgery.In general terms, patients can anticipate limited physical activity for two weeks following surgery.At two weeks, they are allowed to gradually resume normal activities with the exception of strenuous activities.Patients can usually return to work in two weeks if no strenuous activity is involved.After six to eight weeks, they can resume all their normal activities including heavy lifting, cross fitness and strenuous activity. It’s important to listen to your surgeon’s recommendations because he has information about your procedure that no one else has.It’s also important to go slow at first and gradually return to your cross fitness routine.This process may take an additional two to three weeks.Make sure you listen to your body.If you’re not ready for a specific activity, your body will let you know.

Answer: Listen to your surgeon Your surgeon knows more about the specifics of your procedure than anyone online, so it's better to listen to them. Your surgeon has taken into account your surgery and condition. Crossfit is a rather intense workout so I suggest you wait as your surgeon recommended.
